An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Preserve Section 230, safeguard online free speech

6 so far! Help us get to 10 signers!

Repealing Section 230 would have grave consequences for online speech and should not be done. The law protects websites from being held liable for user-generated content, enabling free expression and open discourse on the internet. Without this protection, websites would face immense legal risks and financial burdens for any controversial speech by users, leading them to severely restrict what can be posted online. This would stifle free speech, silence marginalized voices, and undermine the open exchange of ideas that has flourished on the internet. Rather than repealing this crucial law, efforts should be made to address legitimate concerns through measured reforms that preserve its core principles of enabling online platforms while still holding them accountable. The consequences of fully removing Section 230 would be disastrous for the internet as we know it. I urge you to carefully consider the ramifications and reject any attempts to repeal this vital legislation protecting online speech.
