    "title": "Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act: A \"Good Samaritan\" Law Without the Requirement of Acting as a \"Good Samaritan\"",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "When Congress enacted Section 230 of the Communications\n \nDecency Act, it made an implicit deal with every Interactive Computer\n \nService (ICS): at least attempt to clean your website of defamatory or\n \notherwise illegal third-party content in exchange for immunity from\n \nvicarious liability. However, the majority of courts applying Section\n \n230 have since construed this aptly-titled \"good Samaritan\" law as a\n \ngrant of blanket ICS immunity, offering protection regardless of\n \nwhether an ICS actually regulates or edits its website. This piece\n \nanalyzes an aparent split among the circuit courts, and explains that\n \nblanket ICS immunity does not square with Congress' underlying\n \nintent of encouraging ICS self-regulation. In the end, this article\n \nhighlights four potential scenarios in which an ICS could lose its\n \nSection 230 \"good Samaritan\" immunity status when it does not act\n \nlike a \"good Samaritan.\"",
