Plain-English Summary
Section 25-3507 addresses how the Act interacts with online platforms and services. A provider or user of an interactive computer service is not treated as a person who disclosed information provided by another content provider, unless the platform is responsible, in whole or in part, for creating or developing the information at issue. That mirrors the framework of 47 U.S.C. 230, and the section directs that the Act be construed consistent with that federal provision as it existed on January 1, 2019.
The section also protects a platform’s good-faith content moderation decisions: a provider or user is not liable under the Act for voluntarily restricting access to material it considers obscene, lewd, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not that material is constitutionally protected, or for providing others the technical means to do the same. Nothing in the Act imposes liability on an interactive computer service for content another person provided, and nothing in the Act alters Nebraska’s law on sovereign immunity. The terms “information content provider” and “interactive computer service” carry the same meanings here that they carry under the federal statute.
