URGENT: Oppose AZ SB1125 Threatening Online Freedom and Privacy

The passage of SB1125 in the Senate, with a vote of 16 in favor and 12 against, raises significant concerns about online freedom and privacy. The bill's provisions, including burdensome age verification requirements for material deemed "harmful to minors," threaten the open nature of the internet. The establishment of user IP address blacklists and the power given to ISPs to manipulate these lists further infringe on privacy rights. The severe penalties for violations, including damages and attorney's fees, could deter content creators and providers. Given the immediate threat this bill poses to online freedom and privacy in Arizona, it is crucial to reconsider its implications and explore alternatives that protect minors without compromising fundamental rights.
