White House Presents Bill on Social Media Accountability | NOW

by

The United States Department of Justice announced an earlier date on behalf of the White House law reform about social media sent to Congress. The proposal further elaborates an existing regulation stating that social media is not responsible for what their users post to make it clearer when companies can be held accountable.

It concerns the so-called section 230 of the law. Under that section it says that internet companies cannot be sued for what users do on their platform. In this way, the article protects companies that offer others a platform online.

For example, Section 230 applies in practice to texts and photos that users upload to Facebook and Twitter, videos posted to YouTube, and comments left on news site comment platforms.

American President Donald Trump, among others, criticizes section 230. He argues that the article gives companies too much legal protection. That way they would get out of their social responsibility.

Trump wants to be able to hold companies accountable

Trump wants to change the law to hold companies accountable. Earlier this year, the president was quite at odds with Twitter. The social medium hid a tweet in which Trump, according to the company, glorifies violence. “When the looting begins, the shooting begins,” Trump wrote, referring to protests in Minneapolis following George Floyd’s death.

The bill states, among other things, when internet companies should be held responsible for statements made by users. Internet companies must also be transparent about what they delete.

Now that the proposal has been sent to Congress, US representatives can consider it.

Donald Trump threatens Iran with massive retaliation if attacked

The American president announces that he intends to react to Iranian attacks with a counterattack “a thousand times larger”. The website “Politico” had previously reported on Tehran’s assassination plans.

Dhe American President Donald Trump has threatened Iran with massive retaliation in the event of an Iranian attack on its country. The United States would respond with a counterattack of “a thousand times larger,” wrote Trump on Monday in the short message service Twitter.

The president responded to a media report that Tehran is planning an attack on the American ambassador to South Africa in retaliation for the targeted killing of the Iranian general Ghassem Soleimani in an American drone attack in Iraq earlier this year.

The website “Politico” had cited two American government officials with this information. According to the Iranian plans before the presidential election in the United States on November 3rd, diplomat Lana Marks should be the target of an assassination attempt.

After Soleimani was killed, America and Iran were on the verge of war. Iran carried out air strikes on American positions in Iraq at the time, but refrained from major retaliation. Trump threatened Iran with massive counter-attacks back then.

Under Trump, the relationship between the two states has worsened massively. The president regularly describes Iran as the main source of violence and instability in the Middle East and has a policy of “maximum pressure” on the country. In May 2018, Trump unilaterally terminated the international nuclear deal with Iran. As a result, his government imposed massive economic sanctions on the country.
