S.Amdt. 3369

SA 3369. Mr. HAGERTY submitted an amendment intended to be proposed
by him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 14, setting forth the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year
2022 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
years 2023 through 2031; which was ordered to lie on the table; as
follows:

At the end of title III, add the following:

SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO UPDATING
THE COMMON CARRIER DOCTRINE TO APPLY TO BIG
TECH PLATFORMS, REQUIRING BIG TECH PLATFORMS TO
DISCLOSE THEIR CONTENT MODERATION PRACTICES TO
USERS, AND REPEALING THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION
230 OF THE COMMUNICATIONS ACT OF 1934 THAT
PRECLUDE LIABILITY FOR BIG TECH PLATFORMS' OWN
SPEECH AND POLITICAL CENSORSHIP OF AMERICANS.

The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate
may revise the allocations of a committee or committees,
aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution,
and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, for one or
more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between
the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to
updating the common carrier doctrine to apply to Big Tech
platforms, thereby requiring that those platforms provide
reasonable, non-discriminatory access to all Americans and
preventing those platforms from censoring Americans based on
their political speech, requiring Big Tech platforms to
disclose their content moderation practices to users, so that
American consumers can better understand and control the
information they receive, and repealing the provisions of
section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 230)
that have been interpreted to preclude liability for Big Tech
platforms' own speech and political censorship of Americans
by the amounts provided in such legislation for those
purposes, provided that such legislation would not increase
the deficit over either the period of the total of fiscal
years 2022 through 2026 or the period of the total of fiscal
years 2022 through 2031.
