Lord Moylan
10: Clause 4, page 4, line 8, at end insert—
“(2A) This Act does not apply in relation to moderation actions taken, or not taken, by users of a Part 3 service.”
Member’s explanatory statement
The drafting of some Bill provisions, such as Clauses 17(4)(c) or 65(1), leaves room for debate as to whether community moderation gives rise to liability and obligations for the provider. This amendment, along with the other amendment to Clause 4 in the name of Lord Moylan, clarifies that moderation carried out by the public, for example on Wikipedia, is not fettered by this Bill.
