Summary

Senator John Fetterman's (D-PA) health concerns have been front and center since he checked himself into Walter Reed Medical Center for depression. Questions have been raised about what can be done if a legislator faces debilitating health risks. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram is joined by FOX News White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich, as they discuss what could be done if an elected official is found unfit for office, the public outcry for younger candidates, and the criticism of President Biden for not being more willing to address the media. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act has shielded social media companies from liability for promoting third-party content for 27 years. The Supreme Court now hears Gonzalez V. Google which challenges the broad protections that have governed the internet. The case was brought before the court by the family of Nohemi Gonzalez, an American student in Paris who was killed in a 2015 terror attack. The Gonzalez family contends that Google's algorithms promoted extremist content that aided the terrorist organization. The Director of the Tech Policy Center at The Heritage Foundation, Kara Frederick joins to discuss the rise of online extremism, what social media companies can do to combat terrorist organizations from utilizing social media to promote their content, and why she believes the court is reluctant to roll back the protections afforded to tech companies by Section 230.

As the current law, protect tech companies from content posted on their platforms, including

if that content comes from terrorist organizations.
