==Award Received from the Electronic Frontier Foundation==
On November 15, 2011, 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 [[ISP]]s from liability related to restricting customers who publish harmful or inappropriate materials on the Internet. EFF also praised Wyden’s commitment to blocking the enactment of the Protect IP Act, which aims to protect intellectual property rights but curtail freedom of speech and destroy innovation and the present Internet architecture.<ref>[https://www.eff.org/awards/pioneer Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) 20th Annual Pioneer Awards]</ref>
