This is do or die people. Call, email, and/or fax your representatives and tell them to vote NO on repealing section 230, and keep doing it until they get the message. We all have far too much to lose to sit idly by on this.

When I wrote Section 230 I did so knowing it would be critical for protecting free speech online. 30 years later and it’s one of the last things standing in the way of Republican censorship of the internet. Here’s to many more years of defending this vital safeguard of free speech.
