Bill > S299

This bill, called the Safeguarding Against Fraud, Exploitation, Threats, Extremism, and Consumer Harms Act (SAFE TECH Act), proposes to amend Section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934. The key changes include: (1) excluding interactive computer service providers from immunity if they accept payment to make certain speech available or create/fund the creation of that speech; (2) allowing injunctive relief against providers that fail to remove, restrict access to, or prevent dissemination of material likely to cause irreparable harm; and (3) clarifying that the immunity provided by Section 230 does not limit actions related to civil rights, antitrust, stalking/harassment, international human rights, or wrongful death. The bill aims to reaffirm civil rights, victims' rights, and consumer protections in the context of online platforms and communications.
