About
Originally part of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, Section 230 shields internet providers, websites, social media platforms, etc., from liability regarding what individuals post. Specifically, it says that 'no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.'' Will it be weakened or eliminated by the end of the year?
