If the massive number of internet censorship bills already introduced wasn't enough, Lindsey Graham, along with a handful of co-sponsers (Durbin, Blumenthal, Whitehouse, Klobucher, and Hawley), intends to reintroduce his bill to sunset Section 230 next week.

Section 230 is what allows many websites to exist at all. If this bill passes, many smaller websites will be forced to shut down, and mainstream platforms will either abandon moderation altogether or remove anything even vaguely controversial to avoid lawsuits.

Regular people would be unable to post on sites that take the latter approach (acting as publishers) and would have their voices drowned out by scams and hate speech on sites that take former approach (abandon moderation entirely).

Getting rid of Section 230 would not result in more free speech, it would not "hold Big Tech accountable," or whatever else people like Graham and these co-sponsers say repealing Section 230 would accomplish.

Please call your Senators and Representatives!
