Section 512 Safe Harbor

Section 512 Safe Harbor is a legal provision that protects online service providers, like internet platforms and ISPs, from being held legally responsible for copyright infringement committed by their users, as long as they follow certain rules. These rules include promptly removing or disabling access to copyrighted material when notified of infringement. This safe harbor encourages platforms to host user-generated content without fear of constant legal liability, provided they act quickly and appropriately when notified about infringing material.
