Facebook Inc chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg supports reforming a decades-old US law that limits social media companies’ liability for content its users post online, while Google’s Pichai remained averse to any changes to the legal shield.

Zuckerberg, in prepared testimony ahead of a House hearing Thursday, called for making liability protection for Internet platforms conditional on having systems in place for identifying and removing unlawful material.
