Break up big tech and amend 47 U.S. Code § 230


Break up big tech and amend 47 U.S. Code § 230
The Issue
The petition to the Federal Trade Commission is to demand that Big Tech giants like Facebook, Twitter, Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and others be investigated then prosecuted if evidence is uncovered as monopolies that are openly violating current U.S. antitrust laws.
The petition to the Department of Justice is to demand that the same Big Tech firms are challenged on their improperly using 47 U.S.C. § Section 230 of the Communications and Decency Act (https://www.eff.org/issues/cda230 as a shield to protect them as a communication platform over being just a publisher. This protection allows Big Tech to censor or even cut off free speech, which is not allowed of communication platforms, like AT&T and Verizon for example.
Removing Big Tech firms from or amending Section 230 protections and breaking up their monopolies, would level the playing field and allow the free market to fix these very troubling issues.
