Illinois and Iowa US Senators back ending law that offers protections for internet platform providers, claiming companies are negatively impacting children
Senators including Chuck Grassley and Dick Durbin support legislation that would sunset Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, which protects internet providers from liability for content posted on their platforms.

@eff @davidgreene it's beyond maddening that "think about the children" shtick is still being employed to this day.

There are like 100 things they could do right now to actually protect children. This is not one of them. Maybe try banning kids from being held in ICE custody, increasing vaccine access, and funding more housing support?
