As The Daily Wire reported last month, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) — who I have called the most important freshman conservative since Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) — filed a bill, titled the Ending Support for Internet Censorship Act, in direct response to the systemic anti-conservative censorship imposed by the modern industrial titans of Big Tech. Specifically, Hawley’s bill seeks to end the legal liability safe harbor that Congress included in Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) of 1996. By its own terms, the bill would only apply to large companies with “more than 30 million active monthly users in the U.S., more than 300 million active monthly users worldwide, or who have more than $500 million in global annual revenue.”
“With Section 230, tech companies get a sweetheart deal that no other industry enjoys: Complete exemption from traditional publisher liability in exchange for providing a forum free of political censorship,” Hawley said at the time.
