Bill > HR3421

This bill, the Safeguarding Against Fraud, Exploitation, Threats, Extremism, and Consumer Harms Act (SAFE TECH Act), amends Section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934 to reaffirm civil rights, victims' rights, and consumer protections. The key provisions include: (1) excluding immunity from "good Samaritan" protections if an interactive computer service provider fails to remove, restrict access to, or prevent the dissemination of material likely to cause irreparable harm; (2) clarifying that Section 230 does not limit actions alleging discrimination, antitrust violations, stalking, harassment, intimidation, violations of international human rights law, or wrongful death; and (3) shifting the burden of proof to the defendant to show they are a provider or user of an interactive computer service and are being treated as the publisher or speaker of speech provided by another information content provider.
