In the near future following December 10, 2022, the United States federal government will formally attempt to revise or rewrite Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (e.g., through proposed legislation or regulatory action).

Explanation
Evidence shows that after December 10, 2022, the U.S. federal government (specifically Congress) did make multiple formal attempts to revise Section 230 via new and reintroduced legislation:
- On February 28, 2023, Senators Mark Warner and others reintroduced the SAFE TECH Act, explicitly described in Warner’s press release as legislation "to reform Section 230" so that social media companies can be held accountable for harms such as scams, harassment, and violent extremism. (warner.senate.gov)
- The EARN IT Act was reintroduced in the 118th Congress on April 19, 2023; the bill’s description notes that it aims to amend Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act as part of its child-exploitation prevention framework. (en.wikipedia.org)
- On June 14, 2023, Senators Hawley and Blumenthal introduced the No Section 230 Immunity for AI Act; a related bill, S.1993 (118th Congress), was introduced the same day "to waive immunity under section 230" for generative AI, both representing targeted efforts to narrow Section 230 protections. (hawley.senate.gov)
- More recently, in the 119th Congress (2025–2026), Senator John Curtis introduced S.3193, a bill "to amend section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934 to limit liability protection" for certain social media platforms—another explicit attempt to rewrite the scope of Section 230 immunity. (congress.gov)
- Additional bipartisan proposals, such as Graham and Durbin’s plan to reintroduce a bill that would sunset Section 230 within two years unless Congress replaces it, further illustrate ongoing federal legislative attempts to overhaul or effectively rewrite Section 230. (theverge.com)
Given that the prediction only required that the U.S. federal government would make an attempt to rewrite Section 230 in the near future after December 10, 2022, and that multiple concrete post‑2022 bills were introduced in Congress specifically to reform, amend, narrow, or sunset Section 230, the prediction is best judged as right.
