Roger Wicker, R-Miss., chairman of the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, will convene a hearing titled, "Does Section 230's Sweeping Immunity Enable Big Tech Bad Behavior?,"at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, October 28. The hearing will examine whether Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act has outlived its usefulness in today's digital age. It will also examine legislative proposals to modernize the decades-old law, increase transparency and accountability among big technology companies for their content moderation practices, and explore the impact of large ad-tech platforms on local journalism and consumer privacy. The hearing will provide an opportunity to discuss the unintended consequences of Section 230's liability shield and how best to preserve the internet as a forum for open discourse.

We are Trevor Potter and Adav Noti of the Campaign Legal Center. After the "get out the vote" campaigns end on Nov. 3, it is absolutely critical that the will of the voters be affirmed by the certification and electoral process -- not undermined by clever lawyers and cynical state legislators. The process that determines who wins a presidential election after Nov. 3 takes more than two months, winds through the states and Congress, is guided by the Constitution and laws more than 100 years old, and takes place mostly out of the sight of voters. As members of the non-partisan National Task Force on Election Crises, we're keen to help voters understand this sometimes complicated process, as well as all of the disinformation about it that may flood the zone after election night. The Task Force is issuing resources for understanding the election process, because our democracy depends on getting elections right.
