H.R. 1865 — Section Five: Amending 47 U.S. Code § 230
By Daddy 04/05/2018
Las Vegas, NV — Section 230 was the safe-harbor that protected sites from content that was posted by third parties. This section strips out some of those protections.
(5) NO EFFECT ON SEX TRAFFICKING LAW.—Nothing in this section (other than subsection (c)(2)(A)) shall be construed to impair or limit—
(A) any claim in a civil action brought under section 1595 of title 18, United States Code, if the conduct underlying the claim constitutes a violation of section 1591 of that title;
(B) any charge in a criminal prosecution brought under State law if the conduct underlying the charge would constitute a violation of section 1591 of title 18, United States Code; or
(C) any charge in a criminal prosecution brought under State law if the conduct underlying the charge would constitute a violation of section 2421A of title 18, United States Code, and promotion or facilitation of prostitution is illegal in the jurisdiction where the defendant’s promotion or facilitation of prostitution was targeted.”.
(b) Effective Date.—The amendments made by this section shall take effect on the date of the enactment of this Act, and the amendment made by subsection (a) shall apply regardless of whether the conduct alleged occurred, or is alleged to have occurred, before, on, or after such date of enactment.
This section carves out the future exclusions from § 230. The major problem is that the effective date specifically includes violations that predates the date of enactment. This is an "ex post facto" condition that violates article 1 Section 9 of the US Constitution.
I've had to dip into my reserves this week so any donations are a help. My car is back from the shop and now has two new tires. Last week was very expensive!
Big Old Hug and a Kiss,
