Curbing Online Censorship and Protecting Free Speech
This bill aims to change how online platforms are held responsible for user content. If a large internet platform actively moderates, algorithmically promotes, or significantly alters content, it could be treated as a publisher, leading to greater legal liability. This is intended to ensure more transparency and freedom of expression online for citizens.
Key points
Larger online platforms may face liability for content they actively moderate or promote.
Platforms will need to disclose how they manage content, allowing users to make informed choices.
The bill includes an exception for religious material, protecting freedom of religion from censorship.
Making it easier to pursue claims against platforms that do not adhere to the new rules.
