Online Speech Protections For Everyone Are In Danger
Some members of Congress want to delete Section 230, the key law underpinning free speech online. Even though this law has protected millions of Americans’ right to speak out and organize for decades,...

I very much look forward to the day we longer have bombared each other with all of this. But this is literally what we have to deal with. A dying system that's determined to grasp at any amount of control and to drag us down with them. None of it'll work, but man. The peace would be nice.

while KOSA passed the subcommittee, there is still the full committee meeting it needs to go through before being voted on by the Senate/House
support is more split on it than you'd think, we just need to pull away enough votes to block it. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES!

Repealing Section 230 would chill free speech by allowing platforms, not users, to be held responsible for what its users say. Platforms will become much more censorious over what its users can post. This is extremely bad

So, an agency that wants to run ads for gambling funded Australia’s (terrible, misguided, authoritarian) campaign to ban teens from social media because now the government is abandoning a plan to ban gambling ads citing the age verification law as a rationale www.crikey.com.au/2025/12/12/p...
Teen social media ban lobby group 36 Months funded and co-staffed by firm making gambling ads
The revelation comes as the government is expected to abandon plans for an online gambling ad ban, using the teen social media ban as cover.

Both KOSA + COPPA 2.0 advanced through the committee on a partisan basis by Republicans BUT the fight isn’t over yet.
We’ll keep you posted on new developments. Next committee meeting on these bills will likely happen in January. In the meantime, keep the pressure on!

House E+C hearing takeaways:
- Dems voted against KOSA due to the duty of care + against COPPA 2.0 due to preemption of state laws.
- With KOSA, the House is concerned with FTC overreach to police online free speech. This is a good thing + a sign that your advocacy is working!

This is a very divided vote. It means we've been encouraging dissent. It now goes to the full committee. Please keep calling and urging your reps to reject it
KOSA passed out of the subcommittee in the House on 13-10 vote. Meaning that they are FINALLY listening to some opposition. But not enough to prevent the other age verification bills from passing, let alone this.
They MUST listen to opposition. Losing this fight is NOT an option.
