AI Summary
This bill amends Section 230(c) of the Communications Act of 1934 to remove immunity for providers of interactive computer services (e.g., social media platforms) for certain claims related to algorithmic amplification of content. Specifically, the bill states that a provider will be considered an "information content provider" and not eligible for Section 230 protection if the provider uses algorithms, models, or other computational processes to rank, order, promote, recommend, amplify, or alter the delivery or display of information that is directly relevant to certain civil rights or terrorism-related claims. The bill includes exemptions for small businesses (under 10 million unique monthly visitors) and providers of internet infrastructure services like web hosting and content delivery networks.
