Is there no end to stories about Facebook’s many misdeeds? Now Senator Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) says”
Mark Zuckerberg has “repeatedly lied to the American people about privacy,” Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) said in a recent interview with the Willamette Week, a Portland alternative weekly newspaper. “I think he ought to be held personally accountable, which is everything from financial fines to—and let me underline this—the possibility of a prison term.”
Zuckerberg, Wyden said, has “hurt a lot of people.”
Wyden was talking to the Willamette Week about Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, a 1996 law that gives online platforms like Facebook broad immunity for content posted by their users. Wyden was the co-author of the law and has been one of its most ardent defenders ever since.
The law has come under increasing criticism as concern has grown about toxic online content. Wyden isn’t ready to scrap it, but he says that he’s “looking for more ways to create market pressure on the big tech companies to take moderation more seriously.”
