The internet allows people everywhere to connect, share ideas, and advocate for change without needing immense resources or technical expertise. Congress recognized that for user speech to thrive on the internet, it had to protect the services that power users’ speech, from email to Yelp to Etsy to Reddit. 

Without Section 230’s protections, many online platforms would intensively filter and censor user speech, while others may simply not host user content at all. Section 230’s balanced legal and policy framework allows the internet we know to exist. Congress should not change it.
