Bill overview
This bill, the Abandoning Online Censorship Act (AOC Act), seeks to eliminate Section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934. Section 230 currently protects online platforms like social media companies from liability for content posted by their users. By repealing this section, the bill would remove the legal shield that allows these platforms to moderate or block content without facing legal consequences. This change could significantly alter how online platforms operate and manage user-generated material.
