What the document says

“The term ``covered platform'' shall not include the following: (i) A provider of broadband internet access service (as described in section 8.1(b) of title 47, Code of Federal Regulations, or successor regulation). (ii) Electronic mail.”

To require covered platforms to remove nonconsensual intimate visual depictions, and for other purposes, Sec. 4

Two of the three things the term does not reach. A provider of broadband internet access service, as that service is described in section 8.1(b) of title 47, Code of Federal Regulations, or a successor regulation, is excluded, and so is electronic mail. That regulation is cited, not indexed here.

What the document actually says

“The term ``covered platform'' shall not include the following: (i) A provider of broadband internet access service (as described in section 8.1(b) of title 47, Code of Federal Regulations, or successor regulation). (ii) Electronic mail.”

To require covered platforms to remove nonconsensual intimate visual depictions, and for other purposes, Sec. 4
That sentence, in plain words

The term does not cover firms that sell you internet. It does not cover email.

What this is about

The law points to a rule book to say what selling internet means. This site has not indexed that rule book.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
