Oppose Repealing Section 230

To: Sen. Warnock, Sen. Ossoff

From: A constituent in Covington, GA

May 24

Repealing Section 230 would be a disaster for ordinary internet users, small websites, and startups — and I want you to oppose any effort to gut it. This law isn't about algorithms or platform politics. It's the legal foundation that lets websites host user-generated content without being sued into oblivion for what their users post. The numbers are stark. Without Section 230, digital services could face over 655,000 lawsuits per year, with each lawsuit costing a minimum of $100,000 in legal fees — that's an estimated $65.6 billion in annual legal costs industry-wide. Large corporations can absorb that. Small forums, independent blogs, and startups cannot. Repeal would wipe them out and hand even more power to the tech giants everyone claims to want reined in. The speech consequences are just as bad. Platforms would either over-moderate to dodge liability, silencing legitimate content, or stop moderating entirely and let misinformation and hate speech run unchecked. Neither outcome serves my interests or anyone else's. Section 230 is what makes a functional, open internet possible. Don't touch it.
