What AR 117 does, verified August 17, 2026

<p> This bill proposes to amend Section 230 of the Federal Communications Decency Act of 1996 to address the liability of online platforms regarding user-generated content. The legislation aims to clarify the legal protections afforded to internet service providers and social media companies, ensuring they are not held responsible for the actions of their users. By updating these federal standards, the measure seeks to maintain a safe and open digital environment while balancing free speech principles with the need to combat harmful online material. </p>
