Justice Department Releases Recommendations for Limiting Section 230

The Justice Department released recommendations to pare back the legal shield for online platforms that has been crucial to their growth since the earliest days of the Internet, taking a direct shot at companies like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube that have come into the cross hairs of the Trump administration. In a 25-page recommendation, the agency called on lawmakers to repeal parts of a law that has given sites broad immunity from lawsuits for words, images and videos people have posted on their services.
