The '''Communications Act of 1934''' is a law signed on June 19, 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. The act replaced the Federal Radio Commission with the [[Federal Communications Commission as well as transferred regulation of telephone services from the ICC to the newly created FCC.
One section of the law, 230, was created as part of a 1996 update to the law in order to include references to the Internet. This section provides a legal "safe haven" for content systems that host third party user content. [[Facebook]] is an example of this.
