Règles
Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act — often called “the 26 words that created the internet” — shields online platforms from being held legally responsible for most content posted by their users.
- This immunity is the foundation for how social media, forums, and user-generated platforms operate.
- As misinformation, political polarization, and AI-generated content reshape online life, lawmakers from both parties have increasingly questioned whether the law still makes sense in 2025.
- Critics argue that Section 230 lets Big Tech profit from harmful or false content without accountability.
- Defenders warn that weakening it could crush free expression, flood courts with lawsuits, and devastate smaller online communities.
- The outcome of upcoming congressional proposals and court challenges could redefine how speech, liability, and moderation work on the internet — and determine whether the next decade of digital life looks more like a regulated public square or a fragmented, heavily policed media ecosystem.
