Protect thriving online communities and digital innovation

To: Sen. Merkley, Sen. Wyden

From: A verified voter in Portland, OR

January 14, 2025

The continued growth and vibrancy of online communities is essential for fostering connection, creativity, and innovation in our digital age. These virtual spaces have become invaluable platforms for expression, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas across geographical boundaries. By extending the deadline for a potential TikTok ban, we can ensure that these vibrant online ecosystems remain accessible and thriving. Protecting the integrity of these digital forums not only upholds principles of free speech and open discourse but also nurtures the diverse perspectives and cultural exchanges that enrich our society. Let us embrace the transformative potential of online communities while simultaneously addressing legitimate concerns through responsible regulation and safeguards.
