Bill overview
The Protect Speech Act amends Section 230 of the Communications Act to clarify the immunity protections for online platforms. It ensures that platforms aren’t shielded from liability for restricting access to content if they act in good faith, based on a reasonable belief that the material violates specific rules or is illegal. To maintain this immunity, platforms must publicly disclose their content moderation policies and avoid deceptive practices. The bill also clarifies responsibility for creating or developing information provided by others.
