Using Section 230 as a Roadmap to Protect Platform Openness

Nearly three decades later, Congress is presented with a similar opportunity, but this time regarding the level of restrictions that platforms place on third parties, known as platform openness. Apple and Google both take different approaches to openness, with Apple being a famously "closed garden" and Google being a much more open platform -- for example, the company allows users to install apps without using its app store.
