The SAFE TECH Act Is Anything but Safe
The latest bid to amend Section 230 would threaten free speech and creators' ability to monetize content while also subjecting tech companies to a flood of frivolous lawsuits.
The latest anti-tech legislation in Congress (S.560) would seriously threaten free speech online and creators' ability to monetize content while also subjecting tech companies to a flood of frivolous or unfair lawsuits.
The bill—dubbed the "Safeguarding Against Fraud, Exploitation, Threats, Extremism and Consumer Harms (SAFE TECH) Act"—comes from Democratic Sens. Mark Warner (Va.), Mazie Hirono (Hawaii), Amy Klobuchar (Minn.), Tim Kaine (Va.), and Richard Blumenthal (Conn.). It has a companion in the House sponsored by Reps. Kathy Castor (D–Fla.) and Mike Levin (D–Calif.).
This year's SAFE TECH Act is a redux of a bill first introduced in 2021. That version—which Techdirt Editor in Chief Mike Masnick called "a dumpster fire of cluelessness"— failed to go anywhere (thank goodness). But now the SAFE TECH Act is back, and it doesn't appear to be any better this time around.
The SAFE TECH Act is yet another stab at undermining Section 230 of federal communications law. As it stands, Section 230 protects tech platforms—large and small—and their users from civil liability for content created by others. It does not protect against liability for content that a tech entity or user creates, nor does it protect against liability for federal crimes.
Significant Changes to Section 230
Section 230 has two main sections, one which protects against liability for third-party speech allowed (or overlooked) on a web platform and one which protects against liability for content moderation (that is, blocking certain speech). The first main part of Section 230—sometimes referred to as c(1)—says "no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider." The second main part—c(2), or the "Good Samaritan clause"—says internet platforms and users won't be held liable on account of "any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected."
The first change the SAFE TECH Act would make is to say c(1) doesn't apply when "the provider or user has accepted payment to make the speech available or, in whole or in part, created or funded the creation of the speech."
This would open up a huge range of tech companies to more liability. Blogging platforms like WordPress and newsletter and podcast distributors like Substack would be vulnerable, as would any social media platform that provides a paid tier level (like Twitter Blue).
So would all sorts of web hosting services—creating huge incentives for providers to cut off web hosting access to any person or group even slightly controversial.
And this change "would also threaten liability on any service that shares its advertising revenue with creators, for instance as YouTube does," as law professor and blogger Eugene Volokh pointed out when the SAFE TECH Act first came out. This would create incentives for platforms to cut off or severely limit creator monetization schemes, meaning "creators would thus be less likely to earn money from their works."
In addition, "the section would threaten liability whenever any providers provide grants to support local journalism or other such projects (something like the Google News Initiative)," noted Volokh. "Providers would thus become less likely to directly or indirectly support journalism and other expression."
So, already, the SAFE TECH Act would usher in an array of negative incentives—and that's just with its first change. Alas, the bill would also change a lot more.
Throwing Fuel on the Speech Suppression Fire
In essence, the SAFE TECH ACT "takes nearly every single idea that people who want there to be less speech online have had, and dumped it all into one bill," noted Masnick of the (nearly identical) original version (emphasis his). "Everything about the bill is designed in a way that opens it up to abuse by the rich, powerful and privileged. Everything about the bill allows them to file costly lawsuits (or threaten to do so) and pressure websites to pull down all sorts of criticism."
The SAFE TECH Act also says that Section 230 c(1) protection wouldn't apply (regardless of whether payment or funding was involved) "to any request for injunctive relief arising from the failure of a provider of an interactive computer service to remove, restrict access to or availability of, or prevent the dissemination of material that is likely to cause irreparable harm."
Injunctive relief means someone bringing a lawsuit is not asking for monetary damages but simply for some sort of action to be taken—in online speech cases, likely that the speech in question be removed.
Keep in mind that this provision isn't about lawsuits stemming from illegal content, just content likely to cause "irreparable harm." And while "irreparable harm" sounds serious, it simply means harm that couldn't be compensated for with money, including harm to someone's reputation.
It's a vague phrase that could open a floodgate of lawsuits over anything and everything objectionable on social media—perhaps particularly speech that is unflattering to the rich and powerful.
The SAFE TECH Act "would not protect users' rights in a way that is substantially better than current law," warned the digital rights advocacy group Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) back in 2021. "And it would, in some cases, harm marginalized users, small companies, and the Internet ecosystem as a whole."
Carveouts, Carveouts, Carveouts
Lastly, the bill would carve out a bunch of exceptions to Section 230 protection, including for "any action alleging discrimination on the basis of any protected class, or conduct that has the effect or consequence of discriminating on the basis of any protected class, under any Federal or State law."
As Masnick wrote about a similar provision in the 2021 version of SAFE TECH, "while it may sound good to say this can't be used to block civil rights cases, in actual practice a bunch of recent 'civil rights' cases have involved white supremacists, out-and-out misogynists, and other terrible people claiming that their civil rights were violated by being kicked off of platforms. Enabling such lawsuits seems incredibly short sighted."
And in some states, political affiliation is a protected class, meaning Section 230 wouldn't apply to cases where someone claims their content was blocked or restricted because of their politics. Again: floodgates.
And that's still not all.
The SAFE TECH Act would also amend Section 230 to state that it "shall be construed to prevent, impair, or limit any action brought under Federal or State antitrust law," "any civil action for wrongful death," any action brought under international human rights law, or any "action alleging stalking, cyberstalking, harassment, cyberharassment, or intimidation based, in whole or in part, on sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity), race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, or physical or mental disability."
If you look at that and think, well, tech companies shouldn't be allowed to violate laws with impunity—well, no, and they aren't. If they create illegal content, they can already be held liable. If they are guilty of federal crimes, they can already be charged just like anyone else. What the SAFE TECH Act would do is open up internet companies to civil lawsuits from individuals and governments if third parties use their services in the course of causing certain harms.
Even if many lawsuits against tech companies over user speech would not stand up to the First Amendment, the absence of Section 230 protection would make these suits more labor- and resource-intensive to fight—upping the likelihood that platforms may decide to crack down on more speech rather than defend themselves in more lawsuits.
The SAFE TECH Act is a dangerous bill that would have far-reaching consequences for content creators, activists, people exposing police violence, whistleblowers, citizen journalists, and basically anyone who uses the internet. Not to mention how it would burden our courts with questionable lawsuits and make life miserable for tech companies large and small.

Making money online is more than $15k just by doing simple work from home. I received $18376 last month. It’s an easy and simple job to do and its earnings are much better than regular office jobs and even a little child can do this and earn money. Everybody must try this job by just use the info
on this page….. http://Www.jobsrevenue.com
If the “authors” of bills in Congress put half as much thought and effort into devising policy as they do with tying to find titles which can produce a desired acronym, we’d almost definitionally have a far more coherent and usable civil/criminal code in this country.
“Section 230 protects tech platforms—large and small—and their users from civil liability for content created by others. It does not protect against liability for content that a tech entity or user creates, nor does it protect against liability for federal crimes”
The problem with sec230 is that it protects ISPs even when they are not acting as platforms, and instead curate the material posted by others while enjoying the protection normally afforded only to actual platforms. The straightforward fix is for the courts to rein in the scope of “otherwise objectionable” text.
My web site, my rules… Just a simple thing called “property rights”. If Marxists don’t like it, move to North Korea!
If you don’t understand what he’s saying, don’t make a compensatory shitpost.
Defamation is not free speech.
It is not “censorshit” to hold someone accountable for defaming others.
Fox is subject to being sued for their conduct regarding Dominion, that is how it should be. Why should sites that curate content be any different?
Lol.
Dominions claims are fox knew they were lying. Instead of expressing opinion. The difficulty is dominion has never released the source code. So knowledge is not possible. Likewise dominions own emails obtained during discovery show their admittance of voting problems and incorrect counts.
Do you want to try again?
Fox didn’t even report (as fact) their own opinions, because (as internal messaging shows) their REPORTED opinions were NOT even “sincerely held”! They LIED as to what their REAL opinions were, in a craven search for ratings! “Tell us ONLY what we want to hear!”, the fanatics chanted, and Fox delivered!
So you OK with lying that defames others?
What next, you cheering for Sidney Powell as she lies IN COURT?

“don’t know WHAT to think any more!”
I was looking for that; being this legislation is Democratic pitched.
Democrats pitch legislation to repeal Section 230 while lefties are completely blaming Republicans for EXACTLY what they themselves are doing…. Wonder what their response is going to be?
Good points regarding FOX/Dominion, I have made those myself elsewhere, but they do not change the fact that defamation is not free speech and the claims against Fox will be settled in court as they should be. The court will decide if those defenses have merit.
“Why should sites that curate content be any different?”
To “curate content” is just to pick and chose. News reporters (of all kinds) do it all day every day. Shall we sue ALL of their socks off, for selectively reporting what OTHER people said?
“Publisher. Platform. Pick one. When you exercise editorial control, you are a publisher.”
I’ve heard this utter balderdash from an endless army of marching morons! Using the VERY simple principle of “speech is speech is also writing or any other method of idea conveyance”, then WHAT is “editorial control”? It is simply, picking and choosing what to repeat or report, and what to ignore!
Examples:
Der TrumpfenFuhrer goes on and on and ON AND ON for 2 hours, telling us all just HOW wonderful he is. In the middle of all this boredom, He says, “And voters should only be allow to vote “R”, and NOT for “D” or “L”, ‘cause ALL “D” and “L” votes are fraudulent!” … Now if the media reports ONLY the juicy excerpt from Der TrumpfenFuhrer’s endless blathering, they are clearly “editing”… So we can SUE them (the media) for quoting Der TrumpfenFuhrer said, right, right-wing wrong-nuts? Media LIED to us by omitting context!!!
Der BidenFuhrer goes on and on and ON AND ON for 5 hours, telling us all just HOW wonderful Hunter Biden’s artwork is. In the middle of all this boredom, He says, “And income taxes need to be set to 98% for EVERYONE!” … Now if the media reports ONLY the juicy excerpt from Der BidenFuhrer’s endless blathering, they are clearly “editing”… So we can SUE them (the media) for quoting (“out of context, edited”) what Der BidenFuhrer said, right, left-wing wrong-nuts?
Partisan POWER PIG bullshit all the way down!
Shall we sue ALL of their socks off, for selectively reporting what OTHER people said?
If they knowingly repeat a lie which defames someone, then of course yes.
The bum with a knife under the bridge lunged at me and yelled, “You’re a piece of shit, SQRLSY One, and I’m gonna KILL ya!”
I dodged, while catching it on video on my smell phone, and posted and repeated the bum’s hurtful and disparaging remarks and threats on-line, and to the cops.
Now, if anyone deserves to be punished, WHO should it be, me, or the bum?

Theyre not curating content. Facebook can barely keep up with the porn, now you want to sue it because an anti-Trump post was made? Fuck off.
They’re 100% curating content. Some of that is based on the algorithms. Some of it is bullshit fact checkers that Robby and Jacob have both written articles about.
More to your example: if they leave the anti-Trump post up and take down the anti-Biden post, one could consider that a contribution in kind (not saying one should). Of course, nobody here that is talking about either actually enforcing 230 or removing it is calling for or advocating that websites get sued because they allow a post to be made or stay up.

It has been so far past the original intention of the law to give these companies broad immunity even in cases of contract law. So it let’s then act as publishers, use vague laws, change terms and retroactively apply them, choose when to apply terms, etc. No other industry enjoys those legal protections. If those protections are so great it should be applied to all industry.
In my view the correct fix is to utilize common contract law and require clear and explicit definitions of their rules. In violation allow the lawsuits to proceed. It would stop 99% of the issues.
If they want no Trump they have to say so clearly and publicly.
Dipshit cry-baby, can you READ? HERE is your “contract” from Reason.com:
“We reserve the right to delete any comment for any reason at any time.” …. And this is typical!
ASK FOR YOUR MONEY BACK if you don’t like this product right here, that you are using, right now, crybaby!!!
Every modern judicial system is far too slow and expensive to make such complaints practical. No one can afford to wait even months, let alone years, or pay a lawyer for all the time and effort, to enforce a company’s terms of service on that company.
It is a ridiculous state of affairs. When Big Tech deletes a post, cancels an account, or takes any other action affecting user content, it should be ready to defend that action immediately; any delay implies the action was taken without considering their own terms of service. There should be no need for discovery, motions, or other legal beagle finagling. And there should be real financial consequences when they violate their own terms of service.
A business which markets itself as the One True Way for family, friends, businesses, and customers to stay connected is committing fraud when they cancel accounts they don’t like or posts they don’t like which are not obvious spam or obscenity-laden rants.
Which is why contract disputes are done in civil courts.
Take for example Crowder. He could sue for ad revenue losses from demonstration using number pre and post demonitization or ad rates.
Civil courts aren’t any faster. Lawsuits take years.
These disputes need to be settled in days.
The correct responce is to remove liability protection. They are stating they curate what they show so anything they leave is an endorsement
Came here to quote that exact same passage and make the exact same complaint. A YouTube video is a user post; §230 was meant to let YouTube delete spam and obscenity, yet (1) they delete far more than that, and (2) they promote their choices. (1) violates the spirit of §230, if not the letter, by discouraging to diversity which §230 proponents claim to want. (2) violates the letter and intent of §230 by making YouTube a publisher.
I am really tired of these mendacious §230 claims.
Long live Section 230! For ONCE, Government Almighty limited its own powers, yet now we’re taking “golden showers” from ALL sorts of authoritarians who would piss ALL over S-230… AND all over free speech!
What the conservatives don’t realize, is that they have only the slimmest of margins in government, and eventually control will go back to the Democrats. Who will then be controlling the internet.
Don’t let the other side have control! Keep the government’s hands off!
Yup-yup yo, and a bottle of run!
SMART people have been saying what you have just said (in many ways on many topics), for a LOOOOONG time… Yet the power pigs never listen! Secular karma is simple… What comes around, goes around! Endless cycles of violence, and endless cycles of power-piggery! “Preemptive revenge” will give us our “final solution”!
The Democrats will be controlling the internet, just like they have for the last 10 to 15 years.
So then… The Democrats just mind-controlled you to make that post, or stole your ID to make that post? Along with ALL the other posts here that slam Democrats? WHY are the Democrats slipping up SOOOO badly here, here right now, and letting us KNOW what evils they’re up to?
Then the solution is to get rid of the democrats.
You know what else threatens free speech? Reason cheering on lawsuits against political enemies like Fox News.
JesseBahnFuhrer, YOU are a part of the CensorShit gang and CensorShit problem! Fox News (as we can CLEARLY see now) lied and lied and lied, in a craven search for ratings and MONEY! They felt that they MUST tell YOU (and your fellow fanatics) whatever lies that YOU want to hear! Else you’ll go somewhere else, like to Alex Jones etc.!
CensorShit flows both ways!
What next, you cheering for Sidney Powell as she lies IN COURT?
Hey its not like dominions director of product security called the dominion voting machines “complete shit” and “riddled with bugs that lead to inaccurate counts”
He said, she said. You’re only reporting one side.
https://justthenews.com/government/courts-law/dominion-employee-admits-fox-news-lawsuit-machines-have-bug-causing-incorrect
See the conclusion…
“The Michigan Secretary of State confirmed that a results reporting issue was due to user error. The Michigan County Clerks Association supported this finding. A Michigan Senate review of the 2020 election found no fraud, and went further by recommending investigation of those making money from false claims of fraud in the Antrim County election. A lawsuit alleging voter fraud in Antrim County based on a widely-debunked ‘forensic audit report’ has been dismissed.”
Note “…those making money from false claims of fraud…” … (Like Fox News for example?) … Ass usual, FOLLOW THE MONEY!!!
It’s truly amazing the amount of “user error” that can occur during a 2020 election. Probably about as much “user error” that was *excused* in non-machine evidence of fraud.
[WE] all have *excuses* why it was such a cluster F ber,meh,ur I mean the most secure election ever….
And anyone trying to bring back integrity will be charged with defamation! Or trying to restrict access to mystery voters or etc, etc, etc, etc…
Don’t threaten the Nazi-Empire; it’ll SUE ur *ss!
Point being; The amount of deflection and the aggressiveness of it pretty much ensures guilt. No one fights this hard to avoid investigation if they really know there’s nothing to be found.
You know that doesn’t change the fact that the guy said what he said right? Like, just because Michigan said “No really, everything is okay.” doesn’t mean the machines aren’t complete shit.
It’s so nice to see ENB in an outrage over big tech being part of a literal facist goverment… Oh wait, she’s arguing that everything that has been going on is fine and big tech/dnc/feds have no liability? What a dreamy libritarian

Yet today’s self-styled progressives seem to be utterly in thrall to the pornification of society. They seem to actually think exposing their little ones to sexy theatre is a good thing.

This catastrophism and embrace of austerity reflects a worldview that is best described as ‘eco-medievalist’, in which the lower classes will be expected to make sacrifices. They will be unable not only to buy homes, but also to own cars, especially electric cars, which are affordable only to the rich. As part of a green agenda, some cities are even eyeing policies to restrict the use of cars outside of one’s immediate neighbourhood, as well as making parking ever more difficult.

https://nypost.com/2023/03/02/the-pulitzer-prizes-are-nothing-but-elite-self-congratulation-divorced-from-real-journalism/
Officially it was that the grand old man had pangs of conscience about his yellow journalism vs. William Randolph Hearst amid the Spanish-American War, but there was also good reason he’d been the villain in “Newsies.”
Joseph Pulitzer had been an imperious neurotic, ahead of his time but cruel, greedy, vengeful and vain. It was impossible to determine whether his philanthropy came more from genuine remorse or an attempt to rehabilitate the family name in high society.
And so too it’s hard to say how much today’s vacuous prizes sanctifying contemporary yellow journalism truly betray Pulitzer’s intentions.

Undersecretary of the Air Force Gina Ortiz Jones’ testimony before a congressional committee about service members being forced out over the Department of Defense COVID-19 vaccine mandate was “demonstrably untrue,” service members’ attorney told The Center Square.
She testified under oath on Tuesday before the Military Personnel Subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee.
The testimony given also contradicted a Department of Defense Inspector General report that found that military branches, including the Air Force, were violating the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Florida, said. Federal judges last year, including a panel of Sixth Circuit appellate judges, also ruled to the contrary of Ortiz Jones’ statements.

That Russian diesel fuel is still going somewhere.
https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/North-Africa-Is-Buying-Up-Russian-Diesel-After-EU-Ban.html
At the same time, Russian oil product flows to North Africa are surging. Morocco, for example, saw imports of 2 million barrels of Russian diesel in January, compared to just 600,000 barrels for the whole year 2021, according to Kpler data cited by The Wall Street Journal. Tunisia has also seen a surge in imports of Russian petroleum products – to 2.8 million barrels in January and another estimated 3.1 million barrels in February, after negligible volumes imported prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
According to analysts, those countries will not be consuming all the Russian oil products. North Africa isn’t boosting its refining processing, either. This leaves one plausible explanation for the jump in imports of Russian fuels—re-export to other countries, including Europe, after blending with products of non-Russian origin.

“Some of these Republicans, they just sit back like potted plants, and they let the media define the terms of the debate. They let the Left define the terms of the debate. They take all this incoming because they’re not making anything happen,” he claimed.
DeSantis spotlighted that “the best defense is a good offense sometimes, and I think for a guy like me and other Republicans that’s certainly the case.”
This goes for libertarians as well. Don’t let the authoritarian left define the debate, and don’t shy away from the fight.
