And the world was online.<\/p>\n<p>No doomscrolling for hours through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/tech\/companies\/instagram\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> and X.<\/p>\n<p>But people were plowing through GeoCities. There were Hotbot searches \u2013 before the days of Google and AI. There was even Ask Jeeves, long before Grok.<\/p>\n<p>Congress was on the precipice of adopting a landmark telecommunications <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/politics\/executive\/law\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">law<\/a> which would dictate the digital landscape for decades.<\/p>\n<p>When signing the Telecommunications Act of 1996 into law, former President Clinton declared how the measure would plow &#8220;a superhighway to serve both the private sector and the public interest.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/rand-paul-says-personal-experience-youtube-google-changed-mind-platform-liability\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>RAND PAUL SAYS PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH YOUTUBE AND GOOGLE CHANGED HIS MIND ABOUT PLATFORM LIABILITY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yup. Back then, some still referred to the internet as &#8220;The Information Superhighway.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The 1990s were heady. Full of optimism and possibility. The. U.S. won the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/world\/world-regions\/russia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cold War<\/a>. The economy boomed and was &#8220;new.&#8221; The internet linked the world.<\/p>\n<p>But there was a serious debate about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/first-amendment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">free speech<\/a>. Who should regulate what was online? Should the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) address what was proper to post, the same way it oversaw the TV and radio airwaves?<\/p>\n<p>In the early \u201890s, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/politics\/executive\/national-security\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Security<\/a> Agency (NSA) used a cryptographic backdoor to intercept phone calls called the &#8220;clipper chip.&#8221; That raised questions about government surveillance. Would that carry over to what the government &#8220;watched&#8221; when people posted content online?<\/p>\n<p>Congress ultimately decided to give the internet a lot of leeway \u2013 in the interest of free speech. Telecommunications firms persuaded lawmakers to grant them a legal shelter. &#8220;Carriers&#8221; weren\u2019t responsible if\u00a0 &#8220;customers&#8221; posted questionable or offensive material.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We said that the FCC would not regulate either the content or the character of the internet,&#8221; said then- Rep. Chris Cox (R-Calif.) during a 1995 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/politics\/house-of-representatives\/legislation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">floor debate<\/a>. &#8220;We can\u2019t have the government in the interest of uniformity coming up with standards to regulate this industry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cox was a key player behind shaping policy in that 1996 telecommunications law. So was then-Rep. and now Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The internet is the shining star of the information age,&#8221; proclaimed Wyden in 1996.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/ruling-against-meta-google-could-set-stage-changes-handling-hate-content\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>RULING AGAINST META AND GOOGLE COULD SET THE STAGE FOR CHANGES IN HANDLING HATE CONTENT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But the Oregon Democrat fretted about some of the filth which was already permeating the internet in its earliest renditions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My wife and I have seen our kids find their way into these chat rooms which make their middle age <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/education\/parents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">parents<\/a> cringe,&#8221; said Wyden.<\/p>\n<p>But like Cox, Wyden feared that &#8220;censorship could really spoil much of its promise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So they fought to keep some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/politics\/regulation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">government regulation<\/a> out of the telecommunications law. And they inoculated internet providers with something called &#8220;Section 230&#8221; of that law. Section 230 shielded telecom firms with immunity from lawsuits and criminal charges based on what customers posted on their forums.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Jay Obernolte (R-Calif.) described the logic behind Section 230 and the role of service providers:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you, as a public service, put up a billboard in a hall and someone puts something on the billboard that says, \u2018Congressman Obernolte beats his wife,\u2019 the owner of the billboard is not responsible for the content of that message,&#8221; said the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/us-regions\/west\/california\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California<\/a> Republican.<\/p>\n<p>But lots of people and entities post all sorts of things on today\u2019s worldwide &#8220;billboard.&#8221; That\u2019s why some lawmakers want to fundamentally alter social media as we know it by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/graham-leads-bipartisan-demand-tech-reform-vote-bring-social-media-companies-heel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">paring back Section 230<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Section 230 is absolute liability protection, immunity for the largest social media companies in the world. It&#8217;s driving people to suicide. It is ruining our society,&#8221; said Sen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/person\/lindsey-graham\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lindsey Graham<\/a> (R-S.C.), one of the most ardent advocates for changing the law. &#8220;If you buy a bad car, you can sue. Every product you buy, the company has to stand behind it. This is the only area of the law I know where the largest companies in the world have absolute legal immunity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Graham went as far to suggest that what is available online \u2013 and how people use social media \u2013 is &#8220;as dangerous as drinking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/why-meta-google-losing-court-battles-damaging-kids-trying-get-them-addicted\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>WHY META AND GOOGLE ARE LOSING COURT BATTLES FOR DAMAGING KIDS BY TRYING TO GET THEM ADDICTED<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s putting profits over people,&#8221; chimed in Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.). &#8220;(Social media) should not have this absolute shield when it is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/social-media-ruling-could-finally-push-companies-protect-our-kids\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">destroying the lives of young people<\/a> by driving toxic content at them through its algorithms.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bipartisan lawmakers are boiling about what social media firms allow users to post without legal consequences \u2013 even though Congress is partially responsible for creating this problem three decades ago.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As long as these companies believe they&#8217;re immune from liability, they&#8217;re going to tell all of us to go to hell,&#8221; said Graham.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/under-oath-metas-zuckerberg-showed-big-tech-cant-police-itself\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>UNDER OATH, META&#8217;S ZUCKERBERG SHOWED WHY BIG TECH CAN&#8217;T POLICE ITSELF<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Some lawmakers want to strip legal immunity from Big Tech for what winds up on their platforms.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What we ought to do is start by allowing victims of child porn and other child abuse material and sexual abuse material to sue these companies,&#8221; said Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.)<\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers believed that enhanced opportunities for voices and speech would enable the internet to flourish. They argued that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/columns\/rise-of-freedom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">free market<\/a> would create a rich environment online. So they sidelined their instincts to overregulate.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Government is going to get out of the way and let parents and individuals control it rather than government doing that job for us,&#8221; said Cox in 1995.<\/p>\n<p>But lofty hopes for a lush &#8220;marketplace of ideas&#8221; online are dashed by some of the digital slop \u2013 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/jillian-michaels-big-tech-built-digital-drug-our-kids-hooked\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">addictive nature<\/a> of &#8220;phones&#8221; today.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You talk to people and they&#8217;re scared to death of social media. They&#8217;re scared to death of AI,&#8221; said<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.).<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why lawmakers demand changes to Section 230.<\/p>\n<p>One lawmaker says free speech safeguards are crucial for the\u00a0<i>people<\/i>\u00a0deciding what users see online. But not the\u00a0<i>technology<\/i>\u00a0behind it. Today, the technology makes many of those decisions about what we see and hear on our phones.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you just have an algorithm spewing all this information..&#8221; sighed Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.). &#8220;The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/personal-freedoms\/first-amendment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">First Amendment<\/a> doesn&#8217;t protect an algorithm.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In 1996, Ron Wyden told C-SPAN during an interview that &#8220;censorship could really spoil much of (the internet\u2019s) promise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And in 2026, Wyden is still leery of infringing on free speech through regulation. He says the hands-off approach helped the development of Wikipedia and the social media platform Bluesky. A more aggressive posture could stifle development.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To get rid of (Section) 230, you&#8217;re going to have to roll over me,&#8221; said Wyden this year.<\/p>\n<p>In 2026, people are struggling to harness the technology. Trying to ween themselves off <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/health\/mental-health\/addiction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">addiction<\/a> to phones. Figuring out ways to keep kids from phones in order to build reading and vocabulary skills.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The digital optimism of the mid-1990s is gone. And those who were there are nostalgic for the sound of an old, staticky modem and the delightful proclamation that &#8220;you\u2019ve got mail.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/bipartisan-lawmakers-want-strip-big-techs-legal-immunity-shield-social-media-companies\">Source &#8211; https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/bipartisan-lawmakers-want-strip-big-techs-legal-immunity-shield-social-media-companies <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was the mid-1990s.
