Senators Demand Vote On Section 230 Reform

Lindsey Graham sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer urging a February vote on legislation to reform Section 230, the 1996 law that provides broad immunity to online platforms. Graham also introduced a bill to fully repeal Section 230 with a two-year phase-in; lawmakers cited harms including grooming, deepfake pornography, and fentanyl sales as justification.
