Resolved: The United States federal government substantially reform the use of Artificial Intelligence technology
Case Summary: The AFF plan amends Section 230 of the Federal Communications Decency Act of 1996. That Act prevents legal liability to online platforms for content posted by others. Example: Jimmy posts a slanderous article on Facebook saying that Suzie is a heathen harlot. These allegations are false. However, because of “Section 230,” Suzie cannot sue Facebook for the slanderous content that Jimmy posted. Suzie would have to sue Jimmy directly for slander.
AFF is upset that powerful online platforms may be “censoring” content so that their viewers are getting biased political views. AFF will punish any “censoring” platforms by taking away their “Section 230” immunity if they don’t stop censoring.
