Under Section 230, 'distributing' content generally refers to providing a neutral platform for others to share information. 'Publishing,' however, implies a more active role in creating or developing the information. The Court in *Gonzales v. Google* emphasized that algorithmic recommendations, even if they amplify harmful content, do not constitute 'publishing' in the legal sense.
