Eric Goldman wrote an op-ed for the East Bay Times and Mercury News about Section 230, Opinion: People who understand Section 230 actually love it.
The stakes associated with Section 230 reform are enormous. This is a question that Congress absolutely must get right. That’s why it’s mind-boggling when Washington, D.C., politicians treat Section 230 like a political football to be tossed around casually. When politicians say that they support repealing Section 230, what they are really saying is that they want to destroy the Internet services that you most depend upon and love the most.
Thus, don’t assume your Congress members are committed to protecting your Internet. There’s strong evidence they don’t realize just how passionately their constituents care about the Internet and how upset their constituents will be if they damage Section 230’s principles. So, tell them.
