- Abstract
Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act provides immunity from defamation claims to ISPs and website owners for materials posted by third parties. However, the statute also imposes a hardship on the victims of that defamation, since they are often left without a remedy against an anonymous poster. This article proposes an amendment to Section 230 that would condition immunity on the ISP/website owner's agreement to provide the victim a “right of reply.”
