Abstract In the United States, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act provides immunity from liability for Internet operators who host information submitted by their users. This article will argue that Section 230 allows firms to avoid accountability for the malfeasance that their platforms have enabled. With a focus on the ethical differences between liability (a legal concept) and accountability (an ethical concept), the article will recommend ways to compel today's social media platforms to address their responsibilities toward the proliferating misbehavior that they have enabled.

从责任到问责：引用第 230 条以避免运营社交媒体平台的义务的道德规范

摘要 在美国，《通信规范法》第 230 条规定，托管用户提交的信息的互联网运营商免于承担责任。本文将争辩说，第 230 条允许公司避免对其平台启用的渎职行为负责。本文将重点关注责任（一个法律概念）和问责制（一个道德概念）之间的道德差异，将推荐一些方法，以迫使当今的社交媒体平台解决他们对他们所促成的日益增多的不当行为的责任。
