Reject SB1298, uphold online freedom and free speech

To: Gov. Hobbs, Rep. Gutierrez, Rep. Mathis, Sen. Sundareshan

From: A constituent in Tucson, AZ

May 17

The proposed legislation SB1298 poses a severe threat to online freedom and free expression. Its vague criteria for determining "harmful material" risk enabling widespread censorship of legitimate online content and speech. Furthermore, the bill carries severe penalties for non-compliance, including significant financial liabilities such as court costs and attorney's fees. This draconian approach could cripple online platforms and services, stifling the free flow of information and diverse viewpoints. I urge you to reject SB1298 and instead work to uphold the principles of free speech and open internet access that are vital for a thriving democracy. Protecting online freedoms while keeping the internet safe for all should be the priority.
