Today, NetChoice voiced concerns about today’s Ninth Circuit Ruling that could undermine Section 230 and threaten the legal structure that empowers entrepreneurs online.
“The Ninth Circuit’s ruling is wrong and violates the reasoning behind Section 230. This decision risks closing-off avenues of free speech and free enterprise for all Americans,” said Carl Szabo, Vice President and General Counsel at NetChoice. “Section 230 empowers individuals and businesses all over the country through the use of online platforms like HomeAway and Airbnb.”
“This ruling runs contrary to multiple court decisions that have upheld Section 230 and enabled unprecedented innovation.”
NetChoice filed a joint “friend of the court” brief with Hon. Chris Cos on this case last year.
