“Once again, several Senators appear poised to gut one of the most important laws protecting internet users — Section 230 (47 U.S.C. § 230). Don’t be fooled — many of Section 230’s detractors claim that this critical law only protects big tech. The reality is that Section 230 provides limited protection for all platforms, though the biggest beneficiaries are small platforms and users. Why else would some of the biggest platforms be willing to endorse a bill that guts the law? In fact, repealing Section 230 would only cement the status of Big Tech monopolies. As EFF has said for years, Section 230 is essential to protecting individuals’ ability to speak, organize, and create online.” (03/24/25)
