Section 230 is a portion of US law that protects internet content providers from being liable for information that is posted on their sites. For example, if terrorists post content on Twitter, Twitter is not liable for having hosted that content. It has proved controversial in recent years, with politicians from both parties critizing it. However, their criticisms have often come from different directions, and there are many who still support keeping the current policy and view it as key for protecting free speech and innovation. In addition, passing any controversial legislation through the current Congress could be difficult.

The last time that it was modified was by the FOSTA-SESTA bills in 2018, which amended it to no longer protect sex trafficking. Some proposed bills that would modify it include the EARN-IT Act of 2020, the SAFE TECH Act, and the Justice Against Malicious Algorithms Act.

Will Section 230 be modified before the end of the 118th Congress, on January 3rd, 2025? This includes any type of modification, including amendments, regardless of the scope or impact. An executive order or state law would not be sufficient to count, but a law that causes it to be interpreted differently would count. For example, a law that introduces a commission that can remove Section 230 immunities from a specific company would count.
