USA. Legislative efforts and policy frameworks within the Section 230 debate (Chris Riley and David Morar, Brookings)

In recent years, policymakers have attempted to tackle the harms associated with online platforms via an ineffective bricolage of finger-pointing, performative hearings grilling various CEOs, and, ultimately, policy proposals. These proposals mostly aim to reform the intermediary liability immunity provisions of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. But the debate over whether and how to reform this law, which protects platforms from most lawsuits stemming from content posted by users, has been mostly unproductive and riddled with outlandish proposals. Consensus on specific or theoretical reform has remained elusive.
