Sens. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and John Curtis (R-UT) appeared on NPR’s Morning Edition recently to talk about their Algorithm Accountability Act “to modernize online protections and hold social media companies accountable for harms caused by content pushed by their algorithmic feeds.” Read Kelly’s release HERE.

The bipartisan bill “amends Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 to impose a duty of care on the companies that utilize recommendation-based algorithms.”

As a fact-intensive news/news aggregate/commentary web publication that has been fighting the ravages of social media with our brand of civil media for five+ years, The Hustings cannot remain neutral on this issue. We are all for it. And we are encouraged by the Kelly-Curtis bipartisan support of the bill.

Why not join our pro-fact, anti-echo chamber, anti-Section 230 cause and become a Citizen Pundit?
