Will Section 230 of the CDA (Communications Decency Act) be _____ in 2026?
Market Rules
This event predicts whether, on or before December 31, 2026, at 23:59:59 UTC, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) will be (A) revoked, annulled, or substantively repealed, or (B) revised or replaced by new legislation. Both outcomes may occur simultaneously (in which case both markets resolve to “Yes”), independently (in which case only one market resolves to “Yes”), or not at all (in which case both markets resolve to “No”).
For the purposes of this event, “revoked, annulled, or repealed” includes a full repeal of Section 230 or a partial annulment that removes or invalidates its core liability protections for online intermediaries, regardless of whether such changes are replaced by new legal provisions. “Revised” refers to an amendment or modification that changes the content, scope, or application of Section 230, while “replaced” refers to the enactment of new legislation that supersedes Section 230 and governs the same subject matter.
The Primary Designated Source (PDS) is U.S. federal legislation passed by Congress and signed into law by the President, as recorded in official congressional and presidential records.
If official legislative or judicial records are delayed, unavailable, or ambiguous, the Secondary Confirmation Mechanism (SCM) will be a clear and consistent consensus reported by major U.S. legal reporting services or reputable news organizations citing authoritative government sources. The markets will be resolved according to the substantive legal outcome—whether Section 230’s protections are revoked, revised, or replaced in whole or in material part—and not on minor technicalities of naming or legislative drafting. If no fair determination is possible by the end of the Market Period, Futuur may cancel the markets with a public explanation.
