Från Vita Husets presstjänst:
»On Monday, the Department of Commerce, as directed by President Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship, filed a petition to clarify the scope of Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act. The petition requests that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) clarify that Section 230 does not permit social media companies that alter or editorialize users’ speech to escape civil liability. The petition also requests that the FCC clarify when an online platform curates content in “good faith,” and requests transparency requirements on their moderation practices, similar to requirements imposed on broadband service providers under Title I of the Communications Act. President Trump will continue to fight back against unfair, un-American, and politically biased censorship of Americans online.«
Enkelt uttryckt:
- Sociala plattformar som ändrar eller redigerar användares yttranden kommer inte längre att skyddas av budbärarimmuniteten.
- Sociala plattformar måste vara transparenta med varför de modererar eller blockerar inlägg.
Speciellt den andra punkten lär bli populär bland frustrerade användare som inte får veta varför de och deras inlägg blockeras.
