AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would repeal Section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934, the federal law section that addresses how online services are treated with respect to content posted by other people. It would move the definition of "interactive computer service" into a different section of the Communications Act and update many other federal laws that refer to Section 230 so they point to the new definition or remove those references. It would also give a new stand-alone definition of "Internet" in federal trademark law. The changes would take effect on the date the bill becomes law.
