Concerns Regarding Invasive Measures in SB1125

The recent progression of SB1125, which aims to regulate material deemed harmful to minors on the internet, raises significant concerns. The bill's invasive measures, such as user IP address blacklists and the authority granted to ISPs to manipulate these lists, infringe on online privacy rights. Furthermore, the burdensome age verification requirements imposed on commercial entities threaten online freedom and expression. The severe penalties for violations, including damages and attorney's fees, could create a chilling effect on content creators and providers. Given these implications, it is crucial to reconsider the bill's approach and explore alternatives that protect minors without compromising online freedom and privacy.
