The McCaskill bill proposes to “clarify” section 230 so that websites that knowingly facilitate sex trafficking can be held liable for what they publish. It’s cleverly drafted to target a particularly odious use of the immunity provided by section 230. But the internet companies are deeply alarmed by it, because they know it could be the thin end of a powerful wedge – a wedge that could, effectively, destroy their business models (and change the internet). But they’re in a bind because – after all – they’re all opposed to sex slavery. Just like they were once all in favour of the first amendment. This is soon going to get really interesting. Stay tuned.
