Reject Unconstitutional Internet Censorship Bill
To: Rep. Haridopolos
From: A constituent in Sebastian, FL
May 14
The proposed Interstate Obscenity Definition Act represents an egregious assault on the constitutionally protected right to freedom of speech. By expanding the legal definition of obscenity, this legislation would enable rampant censorship of lawful expression under the pretext of moral policing. It threatens to create a chilling effect, compelling individuals and businesses to preemptively self-censor out of fear of prosecution. This bill is a stark violation of civil liberties and an unacceptable government overreach into personal freedoms. It undermines privacy rights. Firmly opposing this unconstitutional measure is imperative to upholding the democratic principles of a free society and preserving the fundamental freedom of expression.
