U.S. President Donald Trump’s effort to regulate social media companies’ content decisions may face an uphill battle from regulators who have previously said they cannot oversee the conduct of internet firms.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman Ajit Pai did not endorse Trump’s proposal on Thursday but said in a written statement “this debate is an important one” and added the FCC “will carefully review any petition for rulemaking.”
In August 2018, Pai said he hoped social media companies would embrace free speech but did not see a role for the FCC to regulate websites like Facebook (FB.O), Alphabet’s (GOOGL.O) Google and Twitter (TWTR.N).
“They are not going to be regulated in terms of free speech,” Pai said at a forum. “The government is not here to regulate these platforms. We don’t have the power to do that.”

Unless you're 8chan and then they can totally shut you down and summon the website owner to testify before Congress.

I don't think the issue is to have the FCC regulate them, I think the point is to strip the 203 protections to allow lawsuits and make them responsible for content like a newspaper publisher.
Now twiiter can be sued for slander and defamation. Can'[t wait for the test cases and seeing the internal communications subpoenaed, If twitter destroys evidence that could be a charge that sticks

All you cheering this have zero fucking vision. The instant this would happen EVERY forum you use would be shut down. The ability to sue an owner or mod for content posted by a user? pull your heads out of your fucking child like asses. Even fucking Gab rushed out to say how horrific this would be. You fucking spergs are mindless zombies , this doesn't just effect FBand Twitter it affects ALL social media. Every one here has posted shit this violates. Grow the fuck up and think for yourself you inbred lemmings. This cocksucker isn't fucking god , no omnipotence here , just a fat retarded piece of shit with paper thin self esteem who may be his generations biggest fucking coward. This go's through none of us have anywhere left you fucking retards.
