Oppose AZ SB1125 Threatening Online Freedom and Privacy

The passage of SB1125 in the Senate, a bill that imposes stringent age verification requirements on commercial entities publishing material deemed "harmful to minors," poses a significant threat to online freedom and expression. The bill's provisions, which include the establishment of user internet protocol address blacklists and the granting of authority to internet service providers to comply with user requests to modify these lists, infringe upon online privacy rights. Furthermore, the severe penalties for violations, encompassing damages, injunctive relief, and attorney's fees, could have a chilling effect on online content creators and providers. Given the immediate threat SB1125 poses to online freedom and privacy in Arizona, it is crucial to reconsider its implications and take action to protect these fundamental rights.
