FCC Chairman to Unveil Rules to Clarify Section 230 Internet Protection

Federal Communications Commission chairman Ajit Pai said the agency will move forward to set new rules to clarify the meaning of a key legal protection for social media companies. U.S. President Donald Trump in May directed the U.S. Commerce Department to file a petition with the FCC seeking to curb legal protections for social media companies over a provision known as “Section 230.”
