Sen. Mitch McConnell: There's "growing willingness on both sides of the aisle to at least re-examine the special legal protections afforded to technology companies under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act."

China Mitch wants to extort some payments to look the other way. This is how it’s done.
Meaningless and he will do nothing. But it does indicate he hears us enough to understand what he needs to pretend like he cares about it.
He is trying to placate some hostility. He thinks he can throw Trump overboard but do a few things like this to placate our anger.
Good, if something is done about this. Big tech is out of control.
The “Senator” is signaling to big tech to send him a check so he can look into this.
And he knows there isn’t the slightest chance of it passing the house.
I wonder what will come of this?

If you are hoping this will level the playing field the the social media realm, I would posit the theory that it will not.
It would potentially give legitimate channels to challenge censorship, particularly in how it could be harming businesses. So for that reason alone, I think most of us would be for it.
But this was needed more than 10 years ago.
Twitter, Facebook, and Google have grown so big, they can afford legions and legions of lawyers. The small upstarts and medium sized companies cannot. In fact, I would suggest that it could open up a cold war by the big dogs to use litigation against up-and-coming competitors.
That’s a message to those Big Tech companies to contribute to McConnell’s war chest and make other untraceable “donations.”
Which means absolutely nothin'. Huh! Say it again!
I have no faith in the RINOs since they cannot back President Trump!
Google Facebook Twitter hire teams of lawyers bribes to ensue?.
China Mitch cares not a whit about us. He will do what’s best for him and his cronies and pretend it’s good for us. I hate the man. He’s ugly on the inside as well as out.

Nothing. Examine means nothing.

Bingo! We have a winner.
McConnell is a POS. The fact that someone like him is the senate majority leader should be considered an unacceptable disgrace to Republican voters.
It never changes though. If it wasn’t him it would be someone like THUNE.
The system is broken.
“McConnell is a POS. The fact that someone like him is the senate majority leader should be considered an unacceptable disgrace to Republican voters.”
I agree. But it’s another example of how powerful the swamp is. And, further illustrates how the political cartel doesn’t give a rat’s behind about the people, or what they think, (those in the public that can actually think).
