Repeal Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act

"[Google] was untouchable in the United States thanks in no small part to its extensive lobbying efforts and its extraordinary connections within government, particularly the Obama administration."

The Obama administration was a revolving door for Google, with more than 250 Google employees doing the Beltway shuffle.

"The subcommittee chair, Mike Lee (R-UT)"

Yelp will go nowhere with Lee in charge. Lee is currently pushing his S.386 bill which would replace tens of thousands more American workers with Indian indentured servants to work at companies such as Google and Facebook. Lee is an unabashed harlot for Silicon Valley.

El Reg should have noted that the main reason for Silicon Valley's invulnerability to liability is Section 230 of the ridiculously named Communications Decency Act, which gives Internet companies a get-out-of-jail-free card.
