Graham countered the notion that the companies need the breadth of protection offered by the law.
“They were given to make sure the industry would flourish,” he said. “Mission accomplished.”
Graham said he believed he would have bipartisan support. Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal, who was instrumental in the passage of the recent changes to the law, views that Sec. 230 was “the biggest obstacle to accountability.”
“The immunity, which is so broad and uniquely encompassing by many of the tech companies, is part of the reason that they are failing to do more,” said Blumenthal, who added later that he’s open to working with Graham on a bill.
