- How AI is used
- List the URL, the date, and whether the capture shows who supplied the words. Add no step that tells a platform to remove the words.
- What the lawyer must review
- You decide any removal step. 47 U.S.C. § 230(c)(1) provides that no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider. On the text used, that sentence is not a duty to take material down. Section 230(f)(3) defines an information content provider as any person or entity that is responsible, in whole or in part, for the creation or development of information provided through the Internet or any other interactive computer service. Read the exceptions in § 230 before you advise that subsection (c)(1) applies. Civil Code § 45 remains the California definition of libel if the claim is defamation.
