Facebook’s decision today further highlights the yawning gap between itself and Twitter, which has struck out on its own into uncharted territory. For Twitter, there is no turning back. The only way out is through. New from me and @sfiegerman: https://t.co/cjv27tz6c9 — PolitiTweet.org

It’s hard to know what to think about this. On the one hand, the FCC always “carefully reviews” every little thing, so it’s noncommittal. On the other hand, the fact Pai is talking approvingly of a “debate,” before any EO text is final, hints he’s more than open to the idea. — PolitiTweet.org

I pointed out some of his Democratic colleagues are keen to make changes to 230. Wyden acknowledged the EARN IT Act, which would make 230 protections conditional on guidelines by a new panel led by DOJ and DHS. “This is obviously something I will fight with everything I have." https://t.co/Ei6Pz5nZzD — PolitiTweet.org

Just got off the phone with @RonWyden, the architect of Section 230. “[Trump] is trying to steal for himself the power of the courts and Congress to rewrite decades of settled law,” Wyden told me. “He decides what’s legal based on what’s in his interest." — PolitiTweet.org
