We musnt be complacent. Especially not now. But we must also be careful not to fatigue as things pile on

Really from now till January, really because we’re probably going to go through the same government shutdown song and dance then iirc.
I’m pretty sure the senate has some big break week around Jan, too, with only the house in session.

I’m pretty sure the hearing this clip is from is the one from the thread Onyx talks about in this thread. It happened like 2-3 days ago.

Today, I also come bearing notes from the Judiciary Committee hearing on "online child safety."
+ THE GOOD:
- No vote on any legislation.
- Anger on KOSA in the House being defanged.
- A few new bills, two of them seem ok:
+ the (ECHO) Act
+ the Stop Sextortion Act

This is, uh, not a smart move. Section 230 has its flaws, but repealing it without having an *extremely solid* plan in place to replace the protections for free speech it offers is tantamount to banning the LGBTQ+ community and others from public online spaces.

No. For this to even work from a technical perspective it means they'd need to break encryption because how can they know whether or not they want to "publish" something if they don't know what it is?

Section 230 protects online platforms from being considered publishers. This protects them from constant lawsuits over user content, allowing user content to flourish. Repealing it would force platforms to aggressively censor users to avoid liability, devastating the Internet.
