Washington, D.C. – Today, NetChoice called on the Senate to pass amendments introduced by Sen. Ron Wyden to the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA). His amendments would safeguard the Good Samaritan component of Section 230 and would allocate extra funding toward the fight against sex trafficking.
“These amendments are common sense,” said Carl Szabo, Vice President and General Counsel for NetChoice. “Wyden’s amendments will prevent a serious unintended consequence of FOSTA while also providing increased funds in the fight against sex trafficking. There is no good reason to oppose these amendments and we look forward to the Senate accepting them this afternoon.”
