Additionally, the bill includes provisions to promote transparency and accountability in content moderation practices, requiring providers to publicly disclose their content moderation policies and practices. It also establishes a process for users to appeal content moderation decisions made by providers.
Overall, Bill 119 s 69 seeks to uphold the principles of free speech and innovation on the internet by protecting the rights of providers of interactive computer services to make their own content moderation decisions without government interference.
