     &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Stop Shielding Culpable Platforms Act&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; This bill modifies provisions relating to the liability of a provider or user of an interactive computer service (e.g., a social media company) for material placed on its platform by another information content provider.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Under current law, a provider or user of an interactive computer service is not considered the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider. The bill specifies that a provider or user of an interactive computer service may still be treated as a distributor of such information. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
