What the document says

“an online service, application, or website-- (I) that consists primarily of content that is not user generated but is preselected by the provider of such online service, application, or website; and (II) for which any chat, comment, or interactive functionality is incidental to, directly related to, or dependent on the provision of the content described in subclause (I).”

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

The third exclusion. A service, application or website is outside the term where it consists primarily of content preselected by its provider rather than generated by users, and where any chat, comment or interactive function is incidental to, directly related to or dependent on that content. The exclusion does not apply to a service that falls within subparagraph (A)(ii)(II).

What the document actually says

“an online service, application, or website-- (I) that consists primarily of content that is not user generated but is preselected by the provider of such online service, application, or website; and (II) for which any chat, comment, or interactive functionality is incidental to, directly related to, or dependent on the provision of the content described in subclause (I).”

That sentence, in plain words

A site that picks most of what it shows is not covered. Talk on it must hang off that content.

What this is about

The way out shuts in one case. It shuts if the site deals in these images as its trade.

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.
