Hi, we are Senator Ron Wyden (Oregon), the author of Section 230, and Steve Huffman, CEO of Reddit. We're here to explain how Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act ("CDA 230") allows sites like Reddit to exist, and how the law empowers Reddit and every other platform on the internet to take down bad content without being tied up with endless lawsuits.

Sometimes called "the twenty-six words that created the internet," the key concept of CDA 230 is simple: it says that when you make a post on a platform like Reddit, you are the speaker of that content, not Reddit. You can learn more about how CDA 230 works here at this breakdown from the Electronic Frontier Foundation. And you can read more about Senator Wyden's efforts to defend it here.
