Sen Wyden co-wrote Sec. 230 of the Communications Decency Act. He still stands by it — and everything it’s brought with it.
A Q&A with Sen Ron Wyden (D-OR).
The law in question is Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, written by Sen Wyden and former Rep Chris Cox (R-CA). It protects internet companies from being held liable for the content posted by their users and says they’re platforms, not publishers. It also gives them the space to police their sites and restrict and take down material as they see fit.
