Justice Department Unveils Proposal to Limit Immunity for Internet Companies

President Donald Trump met with nine Republican state attorneys general to discuss the fate of a legal immunity for Internet companies after the Justice Department unveiled a legislative proposal aimed at reforming the same law. The White House said the legal immunity discussion involved how the attorneys general can utilize existing legal recourses at the state level - in an effort to weaken the law known as Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which protects internet companies from liability over content posted by users.
