> The order would task the Commerce Department to petition the Federal Communications Commission to open a proceeding to reconsider the scope of the [Section 230] law, the people familiar with the document said. It also would seek to channel complaints about political bias to the Federal Trade Commission, which would be encouraged to probe whether tech companies’ content-moderation policies are in keeping with their pledges of neutrality.
James Grimmelman (law prof) points out on Twitter that the FCC and FTC do not actually have any authority over Section 230 and cannot "reconsider" it.
