Senator Wants Facebook, Google to Face Suits If They Show
Political Bias



Technology platforms such as Facebook Inc. and Google’s YouTube could face a flood of lawsuits unless they can demonstrate their treatment of users’ content is politically neutral, under a measure that U.S. Senator Josh Hawley’s office said he would offer Wednesday.
The proposal by the Missouri Republican reflects allegations by others in his party, including President Donald Trump, that the platforms are biased against conservative opinion. His bill would strip large tech companies of legal immunity for user-generated content unless the platforms can show their content-moderation practices have no political tilt.

Good they should be held accountable...By the way I'm sure you've noticed, Google did a purge of their systems and Google search SUCKS now.
