Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act provides for immunity for interest hosting facilities from prosecution for defamation. Sec. 230 reads:
“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."
Internet services are treated as service providers, like a phone company, and not as publishers of content, such as newspapers or broadcast news organizations which subject to stringent fact-checking before airing content.
