Abstract
The note examines the challenges of combating false election information on social media platforms, focusing on the role of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. It argues that while Section 230 is crucial for protecting online speech, its current form is inadequate in addressing the spread of misinformation in the modern digital landscape. The note evaluates various proposals for reform, including the repeal or modification of Section 230, and suggests a balanced approach that maintains its protections while incentivizing improved content moderation to combat false election information.
