Before “The broad immunity the statute is now known for came from how courts read it.”
After “Courts later extended the provision's reach through their interpretation of it.”
Why it was flagged
"Broad immunity" and "is now known for" characterize the statute's reputation and scope without attribution or a measurable basis. The sentence is also an interpretive framing, not a documented event. A neutral version would state what the court held.
What was done
Replaced the reputational framing with a plain statement that courts later extended the provision through interpretation, leading into the sourced Zeran holding.

Before “The broad immunity the statute is now known for came from how courts read it.”
After “Courts later extended the provision's reach through their interpretation of it.”
Why it was flagged
This sentence is a causal and interpretive claim stated as settled fact. The statutory text of 47 U.S.C. § 230(c)(1) already bars treating a provider or user as the publisher or speaker of another's content; saying the immunity 'came from' judicial reading overstates the court's role. The cited sources support the Zeran holding and its being followed, not the broader attribution.
What was done
Dropped the claim that the immunity 'came from' judicial reading. The sentence now says only that courts later extended the provision's reach, which the Zeran source supports.

Why it was flagged
The event lists CompuServe among its platforms, but its body never mentions the pre-1996 rulings (Cubby v. CompuServe treats an online service as a distributor and Stratton Oakmont v. Prodigy treats a moderating online service as a publisher) that the rest of the timeline treats as the background to Section 230. Nothing here contradicts the other pages; the Zeran paragraph and the 8 February 1996 date match them.
Why it was dismissed
The background rulings are recorded on their own timeline events and on Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Adding a Congress-intent claim here would need a source on this page (the Stratton Oakmont event cites the conference report); the omission is not an inconsistency and no claim on the page is contradicted.
