Sunset To Reform Section 230 Act
HR 6746, the "Sunset To Reform Section 230 Act," would amend Section 230 of the Communications Act to end its legal protections for online platforms after December 31, 2026. This bill directly affects websites, social media companies, and other online platforms that currently benefit from Section 230 immunity, which shields them from most lawsuits over user-generated content. The key provision is a fixed expiration date - Section 230 would no longer apply to these platforms after 2026, meaning they could face greater legal liability for user content starting in 2027. The bill does not change Section 230's current rules but sets a specific end date for its operation.
