Going to be entirely blunt with the US folks, you need to absolutely talk about defending section 230 as well, when it comes to talk of censorship.
Without section 230 the internet as you know it will die, as any website can functionally be sued for nonsense out of existence with ease.

So ah, any news on this? It's been a few days now and there's been shockingly little talk about it following the ruling.
My previous post on this was probably a bit too quick to go into doom mode. This blog post + comments seem to give a bit more nuance to it. Still unsure so if anyone who understands CJEU legalese wants to weigh in, feel free.

When calling your Senator, please also mention to defend Section 230.
And for those in Wisconsin, please make sure to call your State Senators about AB 105 / SB 130.
Now I don't think the State Senates are in session right now, but it doesn't hurt to just call and leave a message.

No vote today and there's still a lot of disagreement on these bills, but I wouldn't be complacent.
Republicans say they're looking to "shoehorn" in KOSA, SCREEN or other restrictions into the must-pass defense bill coming up later this month.
Make noise. There's poison in the sausage.

![Nathan Leamer, a former GOP staffer at the Federal Communications Commission and executive director of Build American AI, a new pro-industry group, told POLITICO last week that Republican lawmakers are negotiating several potential online protections for kids as part of the AI preemption package they hope to shoehorn into a year-end defense bill.
“Is it KOSA or [the] SCREEN Act, or age verification, app-store verification? I think all of those are on the table,” said Leamer. “But I don’t know what the final package is going to be.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xkyhsucgalfnrkpwwkxs5zbl/bafkreid57fiaf4qua4ytfbg6xn3pw5pkw2trg2gv7r7xxrql3onamqeufe@jpeg)
