A bipartisan group of lawmakers has just reintroduced a bill in the Senate1 and the House2 to sunset Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, aka the Internet’s First Amendment,3 by the end of 2026. #Digital Wellness 📱🧘 As Fight’s Lia Holland put it: “If this bill passes, 2026 will be the year that online protest movements die.” without Section 230, movement organizing will be censored. Groups like Indivisible, No Kings, 50501, or ICE out of Home Depot use social media to get out information, organize rallies, share resources, and connect with each other. If we lose Section 230, there will be a purge of Bluesky accounts, Facebook groups, and most of the other tools organizers use online, too. What’s more, losing Section 230 will destroy abortion speech6 online, and lifesaving LGBTQ+ resources as well.7 Activists have been warning for years that repealing Section 230 is a horrible idea. Without it, tech billionaires will be able to sue away any online video, protest flier, or other speech they don’t like, and tech billionaires will also proactively censor speech on their platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok so that they don’t get sued.8 Democrats like to say that they are trying to sunset Section 230 as a way to rein in Big Tech, when really the loss of this law will give tech billionaires the right to silence us all. If they really wanted to rein in Big Tech, lawmakers would pass robust federal data privacy and antitrust legislation so that people would be protected online, and have real choices beyond the billionaires’ club. forgeorganizing.org/artic..
