Lawmakers in both the House and Senate have introduced new bills that could repeal Section 230, the law that protects online platforms from being held liable for user-generated content.
This doesn’t just affect adult platforms — it’s the legal backbone of the modern internet.
Without Section 230:
- Platforms could be sued for everything users post
- Comment sections could disappear
- Uploads would be heavily restricted or pre-screened
- Controversial or marginalized speech would be silenced
- Smaller platforms — especially adult sites — could be wiped out entirely
Sites like YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, Yelp, and Wikipedia only function as open platforms because Section 230 exists. Take it away, and the safest move for companies is over-censorship or shutting down user content altogether.
For adult platforms, the risk is even higher. Legal experts warn that repealing or carving out Section 230 could be catastrophic, opening the floodgates to lawsuits and threatening the entire business model of fan sites, cam platforms, and adult communities.
We’ve seen this before with FOSTA/SESTA — and many fear adult content could be next.
This is one of the most serious efforts in years to dismantle the law that underpins today’s internet.

Without Section 230, the internet as we know it doesn’t survive.
