Internet Rights
Section 230 (Platform Liability Basics)
47 U.S.C. § 230
What it generally does
- Limits platform liability for third-party user content in many situations.
- Protects certain “good faith” moderation actions under specific language.
- It is not a blank check and it is not the same thing as the First Amendment.
Practical reality
Platforms can set rules. Government action has different constitutional constraints. This site focuses on documentation, fairness norms, and lawful methods.
