Section 230(c) of the Communications Act of 1934 ( 47 U.S.C. 230(c) ) is amended by adding at the end the following new paragraph: For purposes of paragraph (1), an interactive computer service shall be considered to be an information content provider and the protection under such paragraph shall not apply for any claim described in subparagraph (B). A claim in this subparagraph requires the following: A claim in a civil action is brought under— section 1980 or 1981 of the Revised Statutes ( 42 U.S.C. 1985 ; 42 U.S.C. 1986 ); or section 2333 of title 18, United States Code.
Except as provided in clause (ii), the claim involves a case in which the interactive computer service used an algorithm, model, or other computational process to rank, order, promote, recommend, amplify, or similarly alter the delivery or display of information (including any text, image, audio, or video post, page, group, account, or affiliation) provided to a user of the service if the information is directly relevant to the claim. Notwithstanding clause (i)(II), the requirement is not met if— the information delivery or display is ranked, ordered, promoted, recommended, amplified, or similarly altered in a way that is obvious, understandable, and transparent to a reasonable user based only on the delivery or display of the information (without the need to reference the terms of service or any other agreement), including sorting information— chronologically or reverse chronologically; by average user rating or number of user reviews; alphabetically; and randomly; or the algorithm, model, or other computational process is used for information a user specifically searches for.
This paragraph shall not apply to an interactive computer service that (in combination with each subsidiary and affiliate of the service) has 50,000,000 or fewer unique monthly visitors or users for a majority of the preceding 12 months. .
