Summary by Ground News

Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act says the internet should not be treated like print or broadcast media. This means internet platforms do not bear any liability for third-party content. If someone takes out an ad in a newspaper or writes a letter to the editor that wrongly accuses someone of being a thief or a murderer, the paper can be sued.
