Vote no on S. 737, the SCREEN Act. This bill would force millions of adults to surrender their real identities to access lawful speech online — not just on adult content sites, but on streaming services, social media platforms, and any site hosting even a single piece of explicit content. That is a sweeping attack on the privacy and anonymity of ordinary internet users. The bill's age-verification standard explicitly rules out simple self-attestation, meaning platforms would have to collect and store real identity data through third-party services. Those services face only vague "reasonableness" requirements — no hard limits on what they collect, how they use it, or how long they keep it. That is a data breach waiting to happen. The bill also singles out VPN users for mandatory verification, treating a mainstream privacy tool as something suspicious. This is not a narrow fix targeting bad actors. It is a surveillance infrastructure built on top of the entire internet. Please oppose the SCREEN Act.
