Laurene Powell Jobs is shifting the focus of her pro-immigration advocacy group to include combatting what she calls “far-right disinformation campaigns”, which criticize her group, Immigration Hub, per Breitbart.
Jobs, 61, is Apple founder Steve Jobs’ widow, and is a billionaire. She is described as a philanthropist, pouring her billions into various advocacy groups, including Immigration Hub. Immigration Hub describes itself as “a national organization dedicated to advancing fair and just immigration policies through strategic leadership, innovative communications strategies, legislative advocacy and collaborative partnerships,” and boasts of former congressional staff and executive officials in its ranks.
Jobs’ new group, Catalyze/Citizens, released a statement this month indicating that Immigration Hub would “expand its scope” to “counter” criticism of their organization and aims. It also stated a goal of pushing changes to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, in order to “build safer online spaces”.
Section 320 of the Communications Decency Act, as it currently exists, provides for free speech on the internet by making users solely accountable for their own posts. Under Section 320, internet users or services cannot be sued for what a different user says; services are not considered publishers, and therefore anyone who provides an internet service, such as running a forum, is not considered responsible for what people post there.
