Tell Congress: Don’t Police Online Speech!
Protect Free Speech and Innovation
Congress should not police online speech, but some lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are proposing legislation that would do just that.
If lawmakers want to re-write the law, they must not regulate free expression and stifle innovation. Instead they should consider these seven principles:
- Content creators bear responsibility for their speech
- Any new law must not target constitutionally-protected speech
- The law should not discourage internet services from moderating content
- The law does not, and should not, require “neutrality”
- We need a uniform national legal standard
- We must continue to promote innovation online
- The law should apply equally across online services
