@LouisIngenthron @emilymbender Having been around at the time, I'm just going to say I don't think e-mail spam filtering was a meaningful impetus for CDA 230. It may have been on someone's radar, who knows, but e-mail spam wasn't the huge issue it soon became, and it's not meaningfully what provoked the law. Arguing about this doesn't seem like a great use of our time, though, if you want to disagree.
