After watching the hearing today, I don't believe my Republican colleagues have read the First Amendment, let alone Section 230. Their obsession with forcing private companies to print misinformation, lies and hate speech is unconstitutional and lays bare how little this is about Section 230 and how much it is a transparent attempt to work the refs a week before the election. "I stand ready to take on big tech and ensure that users, free speech and innovation are always the guiding light of tech policy. I'm all for comprehensive privacy laws, stronger antitrust enforcement and, importantly, laws to better protect and empower the vulnerable online. But today's sad spectacle shows how far this body is from having a rational debate about how to make the internet a better place. ### Print Email Tweet Next Article Previous Article	1	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z
