Stop the Censorship Act

This bill, titled the "Stop the Censorship Act," proposes significant amendments to Section 230(c) of the Communications Act of 1934, which governs online platform immunity for content moderation. Its core purpose is to restrict the circumstances under which platforms are protected from liability for their content decisions. Specifically, the bill narrows the existing immunity by changing the standard from "objectionable" material to only " unlawful material ," thereby removing protection for platforms that moderate legal but undesirable content. However, it introduces a new provision that grants immunity to platforms for actions taken to provide users with the option to restrict access to any material, empowering individual users to filter content.
