There is a Katherine Maher quote prominently featured on < https://stopsesta.org/#quotes>.
I'd be interested in what exactly the problem is for the Foundation, though. The EFF leaves aside that question at least in the blog post that David referred to, which is instead focussed entirely on some exception to the exception that allegedly doesn't apply. What it doesn't talk about is why and when - in the cases at issue here - a hosting provider like the Wikimedia Foundation needs to rely on 47 U.S.C. § 230 in first place. It's not so obvious (at least not to someone legally trained outside the U.S.) that you would attract criminal liability for somehow being involved in "Sex trafficking of children or by force, fraud, or coercion" (18 U.S.C. § 1591(e)) or otherwise get into conflict with provisions relating to sex trafficking by hosting an open web encyclopedia that may be abused in some way (how?) by some random third party. Naturally, laws don't penalize all conduct remotely linkable to a criminal act - there's always some kind of threshold, implicit or explicit, and I'd be curious as to where/what for specifically the Wikimedia Foundation needs a section 230 defense in this area. I believe if you want to communicate your position effectively, you (that is, the Wikimedia Foundation) should produce one or two example scenarios and then contrast your liability analysis under the present legislative framework with that under the proposed new regime, so an interested observer can follow along the relevant provisions and get an idea of where exactly we'd reach the point where the proposed changes would cause the Foundation extra troubles. If you've already done that, all the better, and, like David, I would appreciate a pointer :).
