Biden says Section 230 tech liability shield should end for Facebook, Zuckerberg should be subject to civil liability

Former Vice President and current 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden says U.S. Section 230 should be immediately revoked for Facebook and other social media platforms, and that Mark Zuckerberg should be submitted to civil liability.

He made the comments in a question-and-answer sessions with the New York Times.

Here's a long excerpt but a relevant one from the New York Times Q&A session with Biden, which is worth a read in entirety:

Charlie Warzel: Sure. Mr. Vice President, in October, your campaign sent a letter to Facebook regarding an ad that falsely claimed that you blackmailed Ukrainian officials to not investigate your son. Im curious, did that experience, dealing with Facebook and their power, did that change the way that you see the power of tech platforms right now?

No, Ive never been a fan of Facebook, as you probably know. Ive never been a big Zuckerberg fan. I think hes a real problem. I think

CW: Can you elaborate?

No, I can. He knows better. And you know, from my perspective, Ive been in the view that not only should we be worrying about the concentration of power, we should be worried about the lack of privacy and them being exempt, which youre not exempt. [The Times] cant write something you know to be false and be exempt from being sued. But he can. The idea that its a tech company is that Section 230 should be revoked, immediately should be revoked, number one. For Zuckerberg and other platforms.
