The future of TikTok and Section 230
If TikTok finds an American buyer, that corporation will still enjoy the benefits of Section 230, which shields it from liability for toxic & illegal behavior like deepfake pornography targeting women. Social media corporations claim Section 230 is a free speech issue, but James Madison didn't write this law. It was drafted in the 1990s, and the Internet has changed just a bit since then. While the president is working to divest TikTok, Congress should pass my law to revamp Section 230 so that social media can't be so easily exploited by either Chinese Communist or American corporate power. #tiktok #donaldtrump #donaldtrumpnews #section230
