Protect Section 230 — Don't Hand Trump a Censorship Tool

Oppose any legislation that weakens or repeals Section 230. This law is the reason ordinary people can post, comment, review, and organize online. Without it, platforms face unlimited liability for user content and will simply stop hosting it. The internet becomes cable TV — polished, corporate, and controlled. The timing here matters. Trump is already suing journalists and investigating companies over DEI programs. Handing his administration a legal weapon to pressure platforms into silence is not reform — it's censorship infrastructure. Only the largest companies like Meta and Google could survive the legal exposure. Smaller platforms like Bluesky, Reddit, and Patreon would be sued into submission or shutdown. We've seen this play out before. SESTA/FOSTA was sold as a fix for sex trafficking. Instead, it killed Craigslist Personals, devastated LGBTQ+ creators, and the DOJ confirmed it didn't reduce trafficking at all. If Congress wants to address real harms online, pass federal data privacy legislation, enforce civil rights laws, and update antitrust rules to rein in Big Tech monopolies. Leave Section 230 alone.
