A group of legislators are introducing in the House the Justice Against Malicious Algorithms Act, legislation that would reform Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Section 230 prevents websites and online platforms from being held liable for third-party content. Under the proposed legislation, platforms that “knowingly or recklessly” use an algorithm or technology to recommend malicious content would be held liable.
