I'm genuinely looking for the truth of how this works. I have been seeing things akin to what Cruz tweeted, but I figured Wang or red sox would have the legal background to confirm.

Justin Amash actually has a pretty good thread summarizing it:

It also has a link to the text of the law at the end if you want to read that. In particular:

(c) Protection for Good Samaritan blocking and screening of offensive material
(1)Treatment of publisher or speaker
No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.
(2) Civil liability No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of
(A) any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected; or
(B) any action taken to enable or make available to information content providers or others the technical means to restrict access to material described in paragraph (1).[1]
