Social media CEOs get earful on bias, warning of new limits

Section 2 30 is the most important law protecting Internet speech and removing Section 2 30 will remove speech from the Internet. Section 2 30 gave Internet services to important tools. The first provides immunity from liability for users content. The second provides good Samaritan protections for content moderation and remove them even of constitutionally protected speech. As long as it's done in good faith, let me be clear. We approach our work without political bias. Food stop. To do otherwise would be contrary to both our business interests and our mission, which compels us to make information accessible to every type of person, no matter where they live or what they believe. Of course, our ability to provide access to a wide range of information is only possible because of existing legal frameworks like Section 2 30. People can reasonably disagree about where to draw the lines. That's a hallmark of democratic societies, especially here in the US, with our strong First Amendment tradition. But it strengthens my belief that when a private company is making these calls, we need a more accountable process that people feel is legitimate and that gives platforms certainty. At Facebook, we publish our standards an issue quarterly reports on the content that we take down. We launched an independent oversight board that could overturn our decisions, and we've committed to an audit of our content reports. But I believe Congress has a role to play to in order to give people confidence that the process is carried out in a way that balances societies deeply held values appropriately, and that's why I've called for regulation.
