Platforms lose federal immunity in 2026
If enacted, this bill would add a sunset that ends the federal legal protections for many online platforms after December 31, 2026. The sunset clause would be inserted when the bill is signed into law. Starting on that date, the immunities that now block many lawsuits against platforms would no longer apply. Platform owners could face more legal claims. Users and other people might gain new ways to sue, and content-moderation practices and access to services could change.
