🧵Some in Congress are once again calling to kill Section 230. They argue that doing away with the law won’t “break the internet” or hurt free speech. We disagree. In fact, repealing Section 230 would jeopardize free speech. https://t.co/bgMEurZgvr

NEW: The top Republican and Democrat on the House Commerce Committee will unveil a bipartisan draft bill that sunsets Section 230. “Courts have expanded what Congress originally intended, … giv[ing] Big Tech companies nearly unlimited immunity.” https://t.co/0DEn8Rg1ho

Section 230 helped shepherd the internet into today’s global nexus of communication and commerce, but it's now poisoning the online ecosystem it once fostered. That's why @cathymcmorris and I are proposing new legislation to sunset Section 230. https://t.co/jb3samRMor
