The department's proposal, for instance, would remove legal protections when platforms facilitate or solicit third-party content or activity that violates federal criminal law, such as online scams and trafficking in illicit drugs. The department also wouldn't confer immunity to platforms in instances involving online child exploitation and sexual abuse, terrorism or cyberstalking. Those carve-outs are needed to curtail immunity for internet companies to allow victims to seek redress, the official said.

The Justice Department also will seek to make clear that tech platforms don't have immunity in civil enforcement actions brought by the federal government, and can't use immunity as a defense against antitrust claims that they removed content for anticompetitive reasons.

The sweeping protections now enjoyed by tech firms were established by Congress in the internet's early days, through a provision known as Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996. Under that law, tech platforms are generally not legally liable for actions of their users, except in relatively narrow circumstances. Internet platforms also are given broad ability to police their sites as they see fit under the current law.

>>Trump elevates unknown "juneteenth" black holiday to the forefront and Democrats climb onboard<<

 

https://www.nationalreview.com/news/northam-moves-to-codify-juneteenth-as-state-holiday-its-time-we-elevate-this/

 

Virginia governor Ralph Northam said Tuesday that he would christen Juneteenth — celebrated on June 19 to commemorate the end of slavery in the U.S. — an official state holiday, making Virginia the second state in the country to adopt such a measure.

“It’s time we elevate this,” Northam announced. “Not just a celebration by and for some Virginians but one acknowledged and celebrated by all of us.” He added that he would be giving every executive branch employee the day off this Friday as a paid holiday, and would work with state legislature to codify Juneteenth as a permanent state holiday. Currently, Texas is the only state in the country to officially celebrate Juneteenth.
