Question Presented (from Petition)
Section 230(c)(1) of Title 47 states that no provider of interactive computer service (such as a website) "shall be treated as the publisher of any information provided by another information content provider [such as a user who posts something on the website]." The questions presented are:
(1) Is section 230(c)(1) a limitation on the definition of a publisher under certain other prohibitions, or a broad grant of immunity to covered publishers, and
(2) Is "publisher" in section 230(c)(1) limited to the exercise of traditional editorial functions, such as deciding to accept or reject a submission?
Question Presented (AI Summary)
Does Section 230(c)(1) provide broad immunity or limit the definition of a publisher?
