Facebook, Twitter CEOs to Defend Section 230 Protections

Oct.27 -- The heads of the big internet companies in the U.S. will defend legal protections granted to the industry on Wednesday when they testify before a congressional committee about social media’s role in moderating speech online. Twitter Inc. Chief Executive Officer Jack Dorsey, who will appear before the Senate Commerce Committee virtually, will call Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act “the internet’s most important law for free speech and safety,” and argue that repealing the law will lead to more policing of content, not less. Kurt Wagner reports on "Bloomberg Daybreak: Asia."
