Balanced approach to online safety and civil liberties needed

To: Sen. Hagerty, Rep. Green, Sen. Blackburn

From: A verified voter in Lyles, TN

Requiring age verification for adult content websites raises significant concerns about censorship and privacy. These vague measures are unlikely to effectively protect minors and may drive legitimate businesses underground, increasing risks. Rather than restricting expression, we should prioritize comprehensive sex education that equips youth to navigate online content safely and responsibly. Pushing for censorship undermines essential freedoms and fails to address the root issues. I urge exploring alternative approaches that balance child protection with preserving civil liberties and online privacy.
