==Award Receive from Electronic Frontier Foundation==
On November 15, 2011, Sen. Wyden was one of the recipients of the Sen. Wyden was one of the recipients of the 20th Pioneer Awards from the [[EFF|Electronic Frontier Foundation]] in recognition for his continuous advocacy in promoting online privacy rights, freedom of speech and innovation. The foundation commended Wyden’s effort in adding '''Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act''', which provides immunity to internet service providers from liability when they voluntarily restrict customers responsible in publishing harmful or inappropriate materials. In addition, users or providers of contents from third parties will not considered as speakers or publishers. EFF also praised Wyden’s commitment in blocking the enactment of Protect IP Act, which aims to protect intellectual property rights but it will curtail freedom of speech, destroy innovation and the present internet architecture.<ref>[https://www.eff.org/awards/pioneer Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) 20th Annual Pioneer Awards]</ref>
