Apparently Sen. Amy Klobuchar disagrees. On July 22, she submitted the Health Misinformation Act, which would add an exception to the protection websites currently enjoy vis-à-vis user-created content.
Her bill would end immunity for websites that promote posts containing “misinformation” on health matters during a public health emergency. How will “misinformation” be defined, and who will decide what may and may not be said? (Note that unless you have very few accounts you’re following, your Twitter or Facebook feed always includes algorithmically promoted content.)
