   • 2019 July 29, Elizabeth Nolan Brown, “Section 230 Is the Internet's First Amendment. Now Both Republicans and Democrats Want To Take It Away.”, in Reason‎^[1]:

     The Communications Decency Act (CDA) came into being as part of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, and was intended to address "obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, or indecent" materials. […] Under the CDA, telecommunications facilities could face criminal charges if they failed to take "good faith, reasonable, effective, and appropriate actions" to stop minors from seeing indecent content. The law faced a First Amendment challenge, and the U.S. Supreme Court in late 1997 struck down many of the decency provisions entirely.
