McCarthy: ‘Facebook and Twitter Are Not Bigger Than the Constitution’

During a Sunday interview with New York City WABC 770 AM radio’s “The Cats Roundtable,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) continued his push for the removal of special protections for social media giants under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.

McCarthy noted that platforms such as Facebook and Twitter “are not bigger than the Constitution.” He told host John Catsimatidis that the social media giants have been “empowered” too much under Section 230, which he said “has got to stop.”
