Regulation is policy created by regulatory authorities.
Sorry, but I don't buy the idea that one congresscritter's comments, in isolation, constitute a credible threat or inducement. And, if there really are "many others," maybe they should have included that in the article, rather than spending 80% of their space arguing the bogus "section 230 turns private action into state action" line.

- pmiller2 6y agoDon't ask me. People make ineffective threats all the time. Tell me: what can one congressional Representative do by him or her self?
- AnthonyMouse 6y agoPropose legislation and then horse trade against other things people in their district care less about in order to get it passed. Speak a bunch of inconvenient words into the Congressional record the next time there is relevant legislation, which the courts use when interpreting the law. Slip the change into the next colossal must-pass omnibus bill that nobody reads.
