WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Trump administration petitioned the Federal Communications Commision on Monday to clarify regulations on the extent to which federal law provides protection for social media’s content moderation decisions.
In late May, U.S. President Donald Trump directed a Commerce Department agency to file the petition within 60 days.
FCC spokesman Brian Hart said the agency “will carefully review the petition.”
