Article 230 provides broad immunity for Internet service providers (ISPs) – including social media sites – from liability for third-party content on their platforms. Social media companies derive most of their revenue from ads on their websites, and their revenue increases in proportion to the traffic on their platforms. Thanks to Article 230, social media companies benefit from the presence of fake news on their pages, as users usually find this news more interesting and attractive than reality. As a result, social media companies may be reluctant to remove fake news from their platforms as it increases sales and doesn`t incur obvious costs.

Former President Trump, in particular, has called for the complete repeal of Section 230, and various bills propose amending Section 230 to expose social media companies to increased liability. However, the proposed amendments and other solutions should not serve as a panacea, and legislators are likely to find a better solution outside the CDA.

Public concern about the spread of “fake news” on social media has increased over the past decade. Major social networking platforms such as Facebook and Twitter have tried to combat fake news by flagging it as misleading. Even former President Trump apparently showed a sense of paranoia about its spread. While the term “fake news” is often used as a political weapon to discredit unfavorable information and opinions, fake news refers to factually incorrect or grossly misleading content that is likely to influence or consolidate one`s opinion on a particular topic. The spread of this type of fake news on the internet is a growing threat that requires special attention before it becomes indistinguishable from real information, both in appearance and popularity.
