This legislation proposes to eliminate Section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934 by establishing a specific expiration date. The bill amends the existing Section 230 to include a new subsection, which explicitly states that the entire section will no longer have any legal force or effect after a certain point. Specifically, under this proposed Act, the provisions of Section 230, which grant liability protections to online platforms for user-generated content and content moderation decisions, would cease to be law on December 31, 2026 . This change would significantly alter the legal landscape for internet companies and their responsibilities regarding content hosted on their platforms.
