## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Defamation & Media Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/defamation-and-media-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | List the URL, the date, the words or image, and the platform. Write no sentence of the request. |
| What the lawyer must review | You write the request. 47 U.S.C. § 230(c)(1) is the rule on treating a provider or user as the publisher or speaker of information provided by another information content provider, and § 230(f)(3) defines that provider. Civil Code § 3344(a)(1) is the California commercial-use rule for a name, voice, signature, photograph or likeness without prior consent. You decide which statute the request relies on, and you do not assume § 230(c)(1) requires a platform to take material down. Read the rest of § 230 before you say what it compels. |

- Section 230(c)(1) is not, on the text used here, a takedown duty. Read the section before the request says otherwise.
