Bill > HR285

This bill, known as the CASE-IT Act (Curbing Abuse and Saving Expression In Technology Act), aims to amend Section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934 to limit the immunity of providers and users of interactive computer services. Specifically, it proposes exceptions to the immunity for creating, developing, or inducing illegal online content, facilitating contact between adults and minors involving explicit sexual content, and permitting the distribution of content that is indecent, obscene, or otherwise harmful to minors. The bill also includes an exception for providers that are dominant in their market and make content moderation decisions that are not reasonably consistent with the First Amendment. Additionally, the bill provides for a private right of action and a certification process for providers to demonstrate they are not dominant or their content moderation practices are consistent with the First Amendment.
