The investigation is centered around the former speaker who had to quit being speaker because of sexual misconduct... he is an overall douche and probably was into some illegal shit as well...
I dont think this has anything to do with what is going in nationally.
True.
The argument has been Section 230 protections that tech "platforms" get that free them from liability if their platform is used for illegal or damaging reasons.
If they moderate/censor their users content, then they are not a platform, they are a publisher. Which should open them up to lawsuits.... but our government is weak.
If your work tells you not to say something or you'll get fired, then that is legal usually...
So this is our next 20 year war?
