Exclude illegal and indecent content from any platform hosting mandate
Printed page 849 28. Federal Communications Commission
“Similarly, Congress could legislate in a way that does not require any platform to host illegal content; child pornography; terrorist speech; and indecent, profane, or similar categories of speech that Congress has previously carved out.”
What has happened
- Not started
A carve-out for legislation Congress has not passed. No Section 230 or platform-hosting bill advanced beyond committee referral in the 119th Congress (H.R. 6746, S. 3546, H.R. 908), and no public law in the window imposes a hosting mandate that this carve-out could qualify. Same cluster negative search as #2194 and #2196.
No action found yet. This entry is the starting point, not a finding.

Research notes
Like #2194, a feature of hypothetical legislation rather than an action on an object; it can
only move once a hosting mandate exists. Flagged for the vocabulary question in
.scratch/lower-tiers/plan.md about “Congress should consider X” asks.
