Defend Section 230 and pass comprehensive privacy legislation. These aren't competing priorities. We can protect free speech online while holding platforms accountable for how they handle our data. Section 230 has protected the open internet for over 25 years. It's the reason small blogs, review sites, and forums can exist without facing lawsuits over every user comment. Without it, platforms would either censor aggressively or shut down user content entirely. When the law passed in 1996, 40 million people were online. Today it's over 4 billion. The volume makes pre-screening every post impossible. Weakening Section 230 won't fix the real problems with big tech. It will just make the biggest platforms more dominant and kill startups before they launch. If you want accountability, pass a privacy law. Regulate data collection, algorithmic manipulation, and surveillance business models. Section 230 already has exceptions for federal criminal law and intellectual property. It doesn't protect platforms that create illegal content themselves. The answer to platform abuse isn't destroying the legal foundation of online speech. It's targeted regulation that addresses actual harms without collateral damage to every website with a comment section.
