President Trump's new rallying cry in his war against Twitter — 'REVOKE 230!' — refers to a section of the Communications Decency Act that says online platforms aren't liable for what users post. Without it, experts warn there'd be more censorship online.
seeking to peel away the sweeping legal immunity social media companies and other online sites have long used as a shield against an avalanche of lawsuits.
"Section 230 is in extremely precarious straits right now," said Eric Goldman, a professor at Santa Clara University Law School and co-director of the High Tech Law Institute."But both parties don't agree on why it should be repealed, which may become tricky for both parties to find consensus. If there is a proposal for a flat repeal, though, maybe both parties will just agree.
CompuServe, Prodigy and GeoCities were household names, the Communications Decency Act was passed to address what Mackey calls"the moderator's dilemma." "Section 230 was designed to remove that dilemma, so a platform can choose to do nothing or actively engage and set their own rules," Mackey said. exception was added to the law to hold websites like Backpage.com responsible for promoting sex trafficking and prostitution.Since President Bill Clinton signed the original law in 1996, countless people have gone to court over inflammatory comments or videos found on Facebook, Twitter, Google and other sites. But courts overwhelmingly have sided with the Internet companies.
