Limiting Online Platform Immunity: Combating Illegal Content and Censorship.

Q: What are the main provisions?

Key points include: Online platforms may lose legal protection if they knowingly allow adult-minor contact for sexual purposes or fail to block minors' access to harmful content. Large online platforms may lose legal protection if their content moderation decisions are not consistent with free speech principles, as if they were state actors. Citizens whose content is unfairly removed or censored by dominant platforms can sue these platforms and seek damages. The Federal Trade Commission and the Attorney General will certify whether large platforms are market dominant and if their moderation policies align with free speech.

This act changes the rules for online platforms' liability for user-generated content. It aims to better protect children from harmful content and prevent unjustified removal of legal speech. Citizens may notice changes in how large platforms moderate content.
