You can also call the Judiciary Committee here. Let them know repealing Section 230 is a very bad idea.

Thats... some consulation. However I know Graham touted doing a hearing on either changing it or repealing it on its anniversary.

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.

Ok but seriously this is really good that you’re talking about this, the more voices against these bad internet bills the better.

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

+ What do we do?
- Keep an eye on the committee.
- Said what they WANT to do, not clear on what they WILL do.
- Watch for Feburary 2026.
- Call your reps. Tell them to reinforce Section 230 & oppose bad bills like KOSA.
- Do. Not. Panic.

+ THE BAD(cont)
- One of new bills might be problem: Sentencing Accountability for Exploitation(SAFE) Act. Reason: punishment for use of encryption.
- No clear opposition to bills' potential privacy or censorship issues.
- Popularity of social media ban of those under 16.

+ THE BAD:
- Common agreement: revisit, change, or throw out Section 230.
- Senator Graham wants Section 230 discussion come Feburary 2026.
- Fragmented support on bad bills: Stop CSAM Act & KOSA

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?
There's not just ethical and moral dilemmas there's technical ones, too.

In this administration they’re gonna impede anything anti-regime. Queer people, black rights, the disabled and neurodivergent, or just anti-regime political views.

230 is flawed, but we can’t let these fucknuts get rid of it now.

that’s why we need to get louder and get the representatives/senators about the actual truth about these censorship bills and age verification

i called ted budd 21 times and we still be to get more louder than before

we need to act and start fighting back

I find it interesting how Section 230 has also been blamed for why we can't get rid of KF and 4chan and all that.

And that getting rid of it will be a panacea for getting rid of disinformation and online harassment.

Clearly things have changed.

And thats honestly the goal i have with my posting and organizing

I want people loudly countering these anti-privacy narratives, because the louder we are the harder it is for their long game to pay off

Individual bills may fail but these legislators want to present the appearance of a unified push against sec 230/privacy rights

Its worth keeping perspective that not every bill is The End, but everytime they start yapping i think we do need to do our own yapping to counter their narrative!

I think the way a lot of federal reps keep blustering about how section 230 and encryption rights needs repealing is dangerous even if an individual bill is basically dead in the water, because they want to manufacture a consensus around the issue
