Stop the Censorship Act

HR 908, the "Stop the Censorship Act," would amend Section 230 of the Communications Act to change how online platforms can moderate user content without losing legal immunity. It specifically revises the definition from removing "objectionable" material to only removing "unlawful" material, and adds a new provision stating platforms cannot be shielded for allowing users to restrict access to other content. This bill directly affects online platforms hosting user-generated content, such as social media sites and forums. The key change shifts the standard for immunity from subjective "objectionable" content to legally prohibited "unlawful" content.
