Take Action Now to Oppose AZ SB1298 Threatening Online Freedom

The proposed Senate Bill 1298, which aims to regulate internet content deemed harmful to minors, poses a significant threat to online freedom. The bill's vague criteria for "harmful material" could potentially lead to subjective interpretation and censorship of legitimate speech. Furthermore, the severe penalties for non-compliance, including court costs and attorney's fees, could disproportionately impact smaller entities. It is crucial to reconsider the bill's broad language and potential implications on free expression. A more nuanced approach is needed to protect minors without stifling diversity of content and freedom of speech online. This could include clearer definitions of harmful content and fairer penalties for non-compliance.
