This spring, the U.S. Supreme Court is considering Section 230 for the first time ever in Gonzalez v. Google. A decision weakening “the most important law in tech” could change the internet as we know it, creating potential liability for user-generated content and undermining the $3.7 trillion digital economy and 8 million jobs built on “the 26 words that created the internet”. In February’s oral arguments for the unprecedented case, Justice Kavanaugh recognized that “...to pull back now from the interpretation [of Section 230] that's been in place would create a lot of economic dislocation, would really crash the digital economy with all sorts of effects on workers and consumers, retirement plans and what have you…”
