Quotable
“The 26 words that created the internet, they are no longer sacrosanct. So what we’re proposing to do at Heritage is just bring that statute more in line with its original intent.. I believe from 1996, the Communications Decency Act, it was intended to not really stifle innovation with strangling litigation measures that early in the infancy of these companies that relied on computers and the digital world. Let’s get it back to where it needed to be… the argument goes beyond Section 230. A fixation on Section 230 is misplaced… we need to highlight when people are creating new competitors in the market.”
