Taylor Owen on Enforcing the Safe Social Media Act | CBC News

News - Mon, 06/15/2026 - 14:28

Owen pushes back on the idea that the bill is unenforceable on US-based tech giants, pointing to penalties of up to 3% of global revenue and to similar rules already in effect in the UK and EU as evidence that "the idea that this can't be done is a far more difficult argument" today than it once was.
