Citing Industry Inaction, NRB Urges Congress to Review CDA Section 230 Protections

Congress needs to review “Good Samaritan” protections in Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, National Religious Broadcasters said Wednesday, citing the absence of industry creating a “free speech charter” (see 1812100036). “It is unacceptable for technology giants to discriminate by algorithmic bias or human will against users just because their viewpoints are not congruent with ideas popular in Silicon Valley,” NRB CEO Jerry Johnson said. The Internet Association didn’t comment.
