“Since its enactment in 1996, Section 230 has served as the backbone of America’s free and open internet, allowing social media platforms to employ a light touch content moderation policy that, in turn, allows users to access a wide range of ideas and viewpoints. Because of the important protections Section 230 provides, it is rightfully referred to as the twenty-six words that created the internet. By ruling in favor of Google and Twitter, the Supreme Court has preserved digital free speech and ensured the internet will remain a place where anyone can go to express their thoughts and opinions.” — Dr. Edward Longe, Director of the Center for Technology and Innovation, The James Madison Institute
