This bill limits the federal liability protection afforded to providers and users of interactive computer services (e.g., social media companies) for their efforts to screen and block objectionable content. This liability protection is often referred to as Section 230 protection. 

Specifically, the bill eliminates the existing liability protection for providers and users that take voluntary, good faith action to screen and block material they deem obscene, lewd, lascivious, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable (or that make available the technical means to screen and block such content). 

The bill instead provides liability protection to providers and users (1) that take voluntary, good faith action to screen and block unlawful material (or that make available the technical means to do so), or (2) that provide users with the option to screen or block any other material.
