Tech tyrants Jack Dorsey from Twitter and Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook are arguing that stripping them of 230 protections will harm free speech online.
Since late 2016, after the election of Donald Trump as President, the tech tyrants have been censoring and banning non-approved conservative content on their platforms.
In June 2018 the Gateway Pundit published a study of top conservative news outlets and we found that Facebook had eliminated 93% of traffic to top conservative websites since the election.
Facebook began eliminating conservative content after the 2016 election.
On Tuesday Facebook and Twitter CEOs argued that stripping their platforms of 230 protections will harm freedom of speech.
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg plan to warn the Senate that stripping back Section 230 could harm free expression on the internet, according to testimonies they prepared for a Senate hearing on Wednesday, which will focus on the protections.
Dorsey said stripping back Section 230 - an internet law that protects tech companies from being liable for content posted on their sites - could "Collapse how we communicate on the Internet" and leave "Only a small number of giant and well-funded" tech firms, according to his remarks, which Twitter shared with Business Insider.
