As seen on CBS 60 Minutes "No provider or user of an interactive
computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of
any information provided by another information content provider."
Did you know that these twenty-six words are responsible for much
of America's multibillion-dollar online industry? What we can and
cannot write, say, and do online is based on just one law-a law
that protects online services from lawsuits based on user content.
Jeff Kosseff exposes the workings of Section 230 of the
Communications Decency Act, which has lived mostly in the shadows
since its enshrinement in 1996. Because many segments of American
society now exist largely online, Kosseff argues that we need to
understand and pay attention to what Section 230 really means and
how it affects what we like, share, and comment upon every day. The
Twenty-Six Words That Created the Internet tells the story of the
institutions that flourished as a result of this powerful statute.
It introduces us to those who created the law, those who advocated
for it, and those involved in some of the most prominent cases
decided under the law. Kosseff assesses the law that has
facilitated freedom of online speech, trolling, and much more. His
keen eye for the law, combined with his background as an
award-winning journalist, demystifies a statute that affects all
our lives -for good and for ill. While Section 230 may be imperfect
and in need of refinement, Kosseff maintains that it is necessary
to foster free speech and innovation. For filings from many of the
cases discussed in the book and updates about Section 230, visit
