Section 230 encouraged interactive computer services to remove hate speech, fraudulent dating profiles, discriminatory and defamatory remarks, and misinformation. For decades, this worked pretty much as intended. When users complain about content removal or account termination, courts have generally determined that the services are protected by Section 230. However, both parties have expressed doubts about Section 230’s continued applicability in recent years. Even though there might be more exceptions or adjustments around the margins, it would be a mistake to completely remove Section 230. If interactive computer services went back to the pre-Section 230 era, they would be forced to choose between excessively monitoring user content and severely stifling discourse, or giving up completely and subjecting users to a deluge of objectionable, explicit, misleading, and potentially harmful content. In that world, users are the losers.https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/section-230s-original-intent-offers-touchstone-for-online-safetyShare this:FacebookXLike this:Like Loading...
