I’m writing to urge my lawmakers to oppose any attempts to sunset Section 230. We need online spaces to gather and organize now more than ever. Repealing or changing Section 230 would take away a critical shield for free speech online in the face of escalating crackdowns on our rights. Big Tech companies would survive the endless lawsuits, while smaller, decentralized platforms would suffer. There are real steps lawmakers can take right now to rein in Big Tech instead: data privacy legislation, antitrust and civil rights enforcement, FTC investigations, and more. Lawmakers who target Section 230 without understanding it are risking everyone’s right to free speech online and the tools we need to protect our democracy.
