The proposal comes as social media companies are struggling to combat harmful content posted on their digital platforms that have real-world consequences. "When I first read , what I thought about was when I visited Soviet Russia and when I visited China and how careful I was when I ever got on the internet in those countries," DiLoreto said."What you pass matters, and the language you use should matter. And you should want to pass laws that are constitutional and specific."
The bill is responding to an incident in January when Sandmann, a student at Covington Catholic High School in northern Kentucky, was the target of countless social media comments after his interaction with Phillips near the Lincoln Memorial in Washington was posted online.The first videos to emerge showed a smiling Sandmann wearing a red"Make America Great Again" hat standing very close to Phillips, who was beating a drum.
