DeSaulnier, Patronis Bill Would Repeal Section 230 By 2028
The bill, filed September 10, sits in Energy and Commerce and targets a shield Congress added to the law in 1996.
- DeSaulnier, a California Democrat, filed H.R. 10332 on September 10 with Florida's Jimmy Patronis.
- The bill repeals 47 U.S.C. 230, the shield protecting platforms from lawsuits over user content.
- Repeal takes effect two years after enactment, around September 2028, per the bill's own text.
Why it matters: Removing the shield does not free speech; it moves the power to decide what stays online to courts.
