Senator Marsha Blackburn has withdrawn her support for a proposed AI moratorium within what some call Donald Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill.' This decision follows criticism that the bill would effectively shield Big Tech companies from accountability, particularly concerning the regulation of social media platforms. Opponents argued the bill would act as a 'get-out-of-jail-free card' for these corporations, severely limiting the government's ability to enforce regulations and address potential harms caused by AI and social media practices. Blackburn's move throws the future of AI regulation within the bill into uncertainty.
