FCC Commissioner Argues Section 230 Reform Is Necessary

Subscribe to Federalist Radio HourSubscribe

Federal Communications Commission Commissioner Brendan Carr joined host Ben Domenech to discuss Google's recent attempt to censor The Federalist and potential reform to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, under which big tech companies operate.

Carr favors Section 230 Reform after seeing the lack of accountability regarding recent events. Google's actions, he argued, go beyond their right to free speech and demand public accountability to their public representation. While some think that big tech companies have a right to do what they want as a private company, Carr explains that Section 230 actually gives them advantages over other types of companies.
