The law is what allows for comments and forums to flourish online and is known as the \u201ctwenty-six words that created the internet.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>However, the law has come into the political crosshairs from both sides of the aisle in recent months, from President Donald Trump\u2019s social media executive order to several bills in Congress that target the law. Tech advocacy groups and companies have pushed back against the order. <\/p>\n<p>The Commerce Committee <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.commerce.senate.gov\/2020\/10\/executive-session\/8b42580f-8c46-4a3a-954c-a63775768528\">voted unanimously<\/a> to subpoena the heads of Facebook, Google, and Twitter to discuss Section 230. <\/p>\n<p>There had initially been back-and-forth over the subpoena, according to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2020\/09\/24\/senate-panel-preparing-to-subpoena-google-facebook-and-twitter-for-ceo-testimony-421099\">Politico<\/a>, but Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), the ranking member of the committee, agreed to vote in favor of issuing them after the language was broadened to include a discussion about privacy and \u201cmedia domination.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I don\u2019t want to see is a chilling effect on individuals who are in a process of trying to crack down on hate speech, or misinformation about COVID during a pandemic. Part of this discussion will end up being about the fact that some of these social media platforms have tried to move forward in a positive way and take down information that is incorrect,\u201d Cantwell said during opening remarks. I welcome the debate about [Section] 230. I think it should be a long and thoughtful process. Not sure a long and thoughtful process will h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>en before the election, but I understand my colleagues\u2019 desires here today.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>After the opening remarks by Cantwell and Chairman Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), the committee agreed unanimously to issue subpoenas to Jack Dorsey, of Twitter, Sundar Pichai, of Google, and Mark Zuckerberg, of Facebook, to discuss Section 230. <\/p>\n<p>Facebook declined to comment. Google and Twitter did not immediately reply to a request for comment by the Daily Dot. <\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s social media order is using the executive branch to try and change Section 230, although there are questions as to whether the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has the authority to do what the order asks it to do. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has also raised concerns about Section 230. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Congress has pushed forward several bills that target Section 230. Now, it will be able to seek testimony from Zuckerberg, Pichai, and Dorsey about it. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"This_weeks_top_technology_stories\"><\/span>This week\u2019s top technology stories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Voting by mail is safe enough for Trump\u2019s postmaster <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>\u2014he\u2019s done it before<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>No, InfoWars\u2019 Millie Weaver was not arrested for \u2018exposing\u2019 the \u2018deep state\u2019<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Will a Biden-Harris administration break up big tech?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Why conservatives think Kamala Harris\u2019 old employee runs Twitter<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6 signs it\u2019s time to get a new phone (Sponsored)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dailydot.us18.list-manage.com\/subscribe\/post?u=557794e049a42cb8dcdf4eacc&amp;id=14207741b3\"><em>Sign up<\/em><\/a><em>\u00a0to receive the best of the internet straight to your inbox.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"dd-article-leadart-image-credit\">\n<p>                                                                                                <span class=\"dd-article-leadart-image-credit-segment\"><br \/>\n                                        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BcgDvEdGEXg\">TED\/YouTube (Fair Use)<\/a><br \/>\n                                    <\/span><br \/>\n                                                                    <span class=\"dd-article-leadart-image-credit-segment\"><br \/>\n                                        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7sncuRJtWQI\">World Economic Forum\/YouTube (Fair Use)<\/a><br \/>\n                                    <\/span><br \/>\n                                                                    <span class=\"dd-article-leadart-image-credit-segment\"><br \/>\n                                        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HAgbIiQSzEk\">CNBC\/YouTube (Fair Use)<\/a><br \/>\n                                    <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Like this articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Social Media category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/debug\/section-230-subpoena-senate-committee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Senate subpoenas Facebook, Twitter, Google over Section 230 &#8221; The committee voted to issue subpoenas to Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai, and Jack Dorsey.
