Sen. Rubio on bill targeting Big Tech 'monopolies' over political censorship concerns: 'This can’t continue'Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., explained Thursday a proposed bill that targets Big Tech "monopolies" over political censorship concerns, stressing on "Mornings with Maria" that "this can’t continue."
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., introduced legislation Wednesday to give Americans the ability to sue major tech companies like Facebook, Google and Twitter if they engage in selective censorship of political speech.
The Limiting Section 230 Immunity to Good Samaritans Act, cosponsored by Rubio, Sen. Mike Braun, R-Ind., and Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., would stop such companies from receiving immunity under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, unless they update their terms of service to promise to operate in good faith.
The bill would allow users to sue companies for breaching that contractual duty of good faith, and it would make them pay $5,000 plus legal fees to each user who prevails in a case against them.
Speaking with host Maria Bartiromo, Rubio called Big Tech companies, including Facebook and Twitter, "monopolies," arguing that "too much power" is "now concentrated in the hands of five or six companies." ...................
