Repeal Section 230 | End Immunity. Restore Accountability.

An initiative supported by Protect Our Safety Inc.

For nearly 30 years, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act has provided broad legal immunity to tech companies and online platforms, shielding them from accountability for illegal, abusive, and harmful content hosted on their services. Originally intended in 1996 to help early internet providers moderate user-generated content, Section 230 has now become a powerful shield exploited by major corporations, enabling them to evade responsibility for defamation, impersonation, fraud, harassment, threats, and other harmful activities.

Today, Section 230 remains one of the most problematic laws enabling misconduct, providing profit-driven corporations an incentive to disregard harm while victims suffer without recourse.

Real Consequences of a Broken Law

Under current interpretations of Section 230, online platforms retain immunity even after being explicitly notified of illegal or harmful content, including:

• Defamatory impersonation and false identities
• Threats of violence, harassment, and stalking
• Leaked personal and sensitive information
• Fraudulent and exploitative activities
• Severe reputational damage to individuals and businesses

Victims face immense harm without legal remedy. Platforms often refuse to act, fail to identify offenders, and ignore removal requests. This isn’t hypothetical; it is occurring now, affecting countless people nationwide.

This issue has reached the highest levels of the judicial system, including a case brought by Protect Our Safety Inc., currently under review by the United States Supreme Court. For years, Section 230 has denied individuals their right to justice. Our litigation seeks accountability for those harmed and meaningful reform of this law.

Section 230 Fuels Systemic Harm

• Lack of Platform Accountability:
  Tech companies knowingly host harmful and unlawful content, refusing removals or victim assistance, shielded entirely from legal consequences.
• Absence of Legal Remedies:
  Victims of impersonation, harassment, defamation, fraud, and threats find civil suits consistently dismissed, leaving them without legal protection. Law enforcement remains largely powerless under current statutory limitations.
• No Incentive to Act:
  Platforms profit from user-generated content without motivation to improve safety measures or prevent misuse. Legal immunity protects their interests, leaving users vulnerable.

The consequences include platforms allowing severe and destructive content to flourish without accountability. Section 230 immunity shields this harmful status quo, protecting commercial interests over public safety.

Political Inaction and Industry Influence

Despite bipartisan recognition that Section 230 urgently needs reform, political efforts have repeatedly stalled due to lobbying pressure from major tech corporations. Bills addressing online safety, fraud prevention, and digital accountability have consistently failed, been watered down, or abandoned entirely. The result is continued harm and injustice facilitated by industry money and influence.

Our Solution: Strategic Legal Action

Repeal Section 230 is not simply an awareness campaign or political advocacy group. Through Protect Our Safety Inc., we are directly pursuing strategic litigation, constitutional advocacy, and high-level legal filings aimed at reforming or repealing Section 230.

We are building a robust evidentiary record to demonstrate precisely how Section 230 is misused to shield misconduct and harm innocent people. We are taking the fight directly to the courts, demanding accountability and meaningful reform, including efforts currently pending before the U.S. Supreme Court.
