The Justice Department hosted a workshop Wednesday to debate the importance of Section 230, which protects online platforms from being legally liable for their users’ posts.
Attorney General William Barr said the discussion was part of a “holistic approach” the department is taking toward the tech industry, in addition to the Antitrust Division’s efforts.
Barr questioned if Section 230′s immunity still makes sense in a world where a small number of tech companies have massive scale and host a large amount of public discourse.
