Hillary Clinton on CNN Calls for Repeal of Section 230 to Regain Control Over Social Media Content

Oct 6, 2024, 02:47 AM

Hillary Clinton has called for the repeal of Section 230, a law that provides immunity to internet platforms from being held liable for user-generated content. Clinton argues that without moderation and monitoring of content on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, society risks losing control. She emphasized the need for stronger regulations and guardrails to manage the content on these platforms, suggesting that the current framework is overly simplistic and inadequate for addressing the challenges posed by unregulated speech online. In a CNN interview, she also highlighted the spread of conservative misinformation and addressed concerns about the First Amendment.
