"NewsGuard's own track record raises questions about whether relying on the organization's products would constitute "good faith" actions within the meaning of Section 230. For one, reports indicate that NewsGuard has consistently rated official propaganda from the Communist Party of China as more credible than American publications."
"For another, NewsGuard aggressively fact checked and penalized websites that reported on the COVID-19 lab leak theory."
Carr then demands the following information:
- A list of every one of your products or services (if any, including advertising) that use or rely on any NewsGuard product, service, or ranking.
- A list of every one of your products or services (if any) that enables any of your users or customers to use or rely on NewsGuard product, service, or ranking.
- If you offer an advertising service, provide details on the use of any media monitor or fact checking service, including NewsGuard, that you may utilize.
