The definition of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 is a bill designed to reduce online obscenity. The Supreme Court declared most of it unconstitutional, but the highly controversial Section 230 (commonly known as “CDA 230”) of the Act is still in force. Section 230 makes it so that webmasters and site owners cannot be held liable in court for malicious or libelous statements made by users of their websites, even if they know that the false and malicious statements exist and have been asked to remove them. There is no requirement that the webmasters or site owners keep information about who made the libelous statements or help find them. As a result, victims of online defamation often can’t do anything about the false statements.
