Dear Friend, 

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the passage of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Thirty years of the tech industry committing atrocities against its users and getting away with it.  

How did we get here?  

Passed in 1996, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act was initially intended to protect children from harmful material, while also ensuring the tech industry can grow. Today, have seen a drastically different reality play out.  

Section 230 has effectively served as a shield for tech companies when their platforms facilitate exploitation, allowing them to profit from harmful content that is posted on their platforms. 

In these past 30 years, the fallout has been disastrous: Women and children are being kidnapped and sex trafficked by predators they meet on social media. Young kids connecting with strangers in online chatrooms, where they are coerced into sending sexually explicit videos. And with the explosion of AI, predators are even using AI to generate sexually explicit images of people without their consent.  

All of this happening, and Big Tech fears no consequences.  

But with your help, we can take down Section 230 and keep America’s children safe online. The NCOSE Law Center is fighting hard to overturn harmful interpretations of this law and win justice for survivors.  

Will you consider a donation to the NCOSE Law Center, to fuel justice for survivors and Big Tech accountability?  

As the NCOSE Law Center serves all its survivor clients pro-bono, we rely largely on donations from people like you to keep doing our work.  

Donate today. 

Gratefully,
