Jewish and Muslim Groups Seek New Right to Sue Big Tech, Conservatives Oppose

Leading Jewish and Muslim advocacy groups are proposing a new legal right that would allow individuals to sue technology companies if they fail to police harmful content online.

The proposal has sparked a vigorous response from conservative politicians, who argue that the measure could lead to excessive litigation and threaten innovation.

Supporters say the legislation would provide a needed tool for holding big‑tech platforms accountable for the material they host, while opponents warn it could overwhelm the courts and stifle free expression.
