Summary
The PROTECT Act would eliminate the legal shield that currently protects internet platforms from being sued over user‑generated content. It also revises the definition of “interactive computer service” and updates a range of other federal statutes that reference Section 230. By doing so, the bill could make platforms more directly responsible for material posted by users.
