And what that leaves out is that Meta and Google are not the primary
beneficiaries of section 230.
It is the users of the Internet who are major beneficiaries of it
and all of the other companies.
Meta and Google have buildings full of lawyers.
If they are going to get sued for ridiculous liability lawsuits, they can
handle it.
They have the money, they have the lawyers.
They're able to do it.
It is every other company, the smaller companies, the ones we want
to build competition, to build new services, to create all the
wonderful new things, the startups that we're seeing, those are
the guys who are really the ones who are most protected by
section 230 and this bill
and the proposal does not even suggest that they are stakeholders in
this or that the users of the Internet are stakeholders in it.
Instead, it's basically saying Meta and Google, come to us with
your reform bill.
Otherwise we kill the rest of the Internet.
