Section 230 is the law that empowers online services to keep bad content off their platforms. It means online services can write and enforce rules that allow them to ban accounts, remove content, and create safer, better experiences online for everyone. Section 230 empowers platforms to set and enforce community guidelines, ban bad actors from their services, proactively screen for illegal and illicit content, and update their rules to address new threats or challenges.
Section 230 gives platforms the ability to:
Set and enforce community guidelines
Ban bad actors and activity from their services
Proactively screen for illegal and illicit content
Update their rules quickly and efficiently
