"Section 230 has led to so much of the creativity and innovation on the Internet today. While it's easy to focus on how the law impacts large companies, every startup that hosts user content and every creator and digital entrepreneur that uses the Internet to share content and build an audience needs Section 230. Their perspectives should be front and center for policymakers and the court as it considers this case."
