Section 230 revised or replaced with new legislation in the US by the end of 2025?
Market Rules
This prediction market aims to determine whether Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act will be revised or replaced with new legislation before or on December 31, 2025. The outcome will be determined based on legislation passed by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by the President, or news reports from major news outlets that Futuur deems credible.
The market will resolve as 'Yes' if Section 230 is revised or replaced with new legislation at any point in 2025 or before, and 'No' if it does not. The act of revising or replacing Section 230 is defined as the approval of the legislation by the U.S. Congress and its signing into law by the President.
For this market, "revised" refers to an amendment or modification to Section 230 that changes its content, scope, or application, while "replaced" refers to the enactment of a new piece of legislation that supersedes Section 230 and governs the same subject matter. Both revisions and replacements should be substantial and have a significant impact on the legal framework surrounding internet platforms and content moderation.
Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act provides immunity for website publishers from liability for third-party content and has been a cornerstone of internet freedom, allowing platforms to host user-generated content without being held legally responsible for the content of their users.
