- Section 230(c)(2)
Section
230(c)(2) says this:
No provider or user of an interactive
computer service shall be held liable on account of—
(A)
any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or
availability of material that the provider or user considers to be
obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or
otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is
constitutionally protected;
Note that Facebook is less worried about content that is "lewd" or
"lascivious" as they are about content that its users simply find
unpleasant, and which leads them to use Facebook less.
