Bill > S4534

This bill, the Online Freedom and Viewpoint Diversity Act, aims to amend Section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934 to modify the scope of legal protection for interactive computer service providers (such as social media platforms) when they restrict access to or availability of content from other information content providers. The key changes are: (1) making it clear that the general immunity provided in Section 230(c)(1) does not apply to decisions or actions by platforms to restrict content, and (2) narrowing the scope of Section 230(c)(2) immunity for "good Samaritan" content moderation to only cover the removal of content that promotes self-harm, terrorism, or is unlawful, rather than the broader "otherwise objectionable" standard. The bill also clarifies the definition of what it means to be "responsible" for the creation or development of information.
