They worry that if they consider themselves to be publishers of content, they will become liable for the substance of that content (e.g: calls to violence on their platforms). Thus, they go out of their way to specifically deny that they are a publisher. > The oft-cited Section 230(c)(1) states, “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.”3 In practice, this means online services are not liable for defamatory or otherwise unlawful content their users post. Section 230(c)(2) elaborates, stating that online services are not liable for “any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of [objectionable content.]”4 This second provision protects online services from liability for engaging in content moderation and enforcing their community standards. https://itif.org/publications/2021/02/22/overview-section-23... https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jul/02/facebook-... |
