Marjorie Taylor Greene announces her plan to abolish Section 230 – By Mikael Thalen (Daily Dot) / April 28, 2022
The QAnon congresswoman says Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter spurred her to introduce the bill.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) introduced legislation on Thursday to abolish Section 230, the law that protects websites from being held accountable for content posted by users.
Greene, who announced the bill in the wake of Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s planned purchase of Twitter, cited what she described as attacks on free speech by private tech companies as the primary motivating factor behind the legislation.

Greene’s bill, known as the “21st Century FREE Speech Act,” would replace Section 230’s current framework with a provision that requires “reasonable, non-discriminatory access to online communications platforms” through a “common carrier,” as noted by the Hill.
