Joseph Gordon-Levitt Criticizes Big Tech Over Child Safety, Calls for Internet Reform
Actor and filmmaker Joseph Gordon-Levitt joined parents on Capitol Hill to advocate for the repeal of Section 230, a law that shields tech companies from liability for user-generated content. Gordon-Levitt argued that this legal protection allows “amoral companies” to prioritize profits over public safety, citing the tragic stories of children lost to online abuse, including sextortion and cyberbullying. He expressed his fervent hope for bipartisan support to dismantle this decades-old shield, emphasizing the urgent need for accountability and change to prevent further harm to children.
