“Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act is one of the most important pieces of legislation in American history.  Passed into law in 1996, it has overseen the entirety of the consumer Internet’s development.  Its premise is simple: Internet service providers and platform operators are not responsible for civil damages that result from user-generated content that they host or manage.  These protections are why the United States is the first choice for hosting any digital service.  Without them, the entire world would suffer a less free Internet.”
