Under pressure from lawmakers, a trade group representing major tech companies has reversed its position and agreed to support a bill aimed at curbing online sex trafficking. Google and others initially fought the bill because it proposed changes to a landmark law that shields internet companies from liability for content posted by others on their websites.

In a statement released Friday afternoon, the Internet Association, whose members include Google and Facebook, said it will support the Stop Enabling Sex Trafficking Act (SESTA), a Senate bill with bipartisan support. The Internet Association opposed the bill earlier because it proposed changes to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, the liability shield that allowed online platforms to flourish without the threat of being sued for content on their platforms.
