Pending legislation — not current federal law.The provisions described as part of this bill would take effect only if enacted.
Proposed duties and compliance
The bill would adapt the TAKE IT DOWN operational framework for a broader category of reported content.
Requirements if enacted
- Publish a clear processCovered platforms would have to provide easy-to-read, plain-language notice explaining the removal process and responsibilities.
- Accept required informationThe process would collect a signature, content location, good-faith statement, contact information, and a statement under penalty of perjury.
- Remove within 48 hoursPlatforms would have to remove qualifying identified content and make reasonable efforts concerning known identical copies.
- Evaluate coverage carefullyServices would need to apply the proposed definitions, exclusions, public-concern limitations, consent rules, and harm thresholds.
Proposed platform consequences
The bill would incorporate its expanded removal process into the TAKE IT DOWN enforcement framework and alter section 230 for defined claims. Exact liability would depend on the claim, the service category, knowledge standards, exclusions, and any final enacted text.
Use the controlling text
Coverage, exceptions, knowledge standards, definitions, remedies, and effective dates must be evaluated from the full statutory or legislative text. Agency guidance can explain requirements but does not replace the text.
