SOS SUNSET 230

heads up, we now have a date for when the Senate will kick start their attacks on Section 230.

Punchbowl News reported on February 4 that there will be a press conference attacking 230, claiming it harms children. In light of literally everything else going on in the news, this is so laughable. It's behind a paywall, so someone was able to get the article.

The liability shield that serves as the legal foundation of the modern internet is about to turn 30. Its critics are hoping to make it an un

Here's the excerpt.

"Anniversaries are a great time for policy pushes, and we’ve found out Section 230’s birthday will be no different. At least one focus appears to be a bipartisan bill from Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) to put an end date on the provision two years from now. “We do want to bring it up on the floor,” Durbin said when asked about action for February, though he said an exact date hadn’t been decided on. Durbin and former Rep. Dick Gephardt (D-Mo.), who was House Democratic leader when the provision passed, are also scheduled to join a news conference with advocates calling for unspecified “reform” to Section 230 this week. Other lawmakers will be picking up on Section 230, said Rick Lane, who has helped coordinate several efforts to change the provision, including the lawallowing more lawsuits from victims of sex trafficking. “Starting with the February 4 event that’s kicking this off, you’re going to see a lot of members talking about the need to sunset 230,” Lane said. Playing defense. There are a lot of reasons that the vast majority of proposals to change Section 230 have so far failed, but the Senate is a big one. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), who helped write Section 230 when he was in the House, has been its most stalwart defender, throwing up procedural hurdles whenever he could. Wyden said he’s ready to continue that fight, arguing that liability protections are especially vital for small platforms that could face ruinous litigation (and that will clamp down on users’ ability to express themselves in a bid to avoid lawsuits). “I’m going to continually make the point that the big guys are fine rolling back 230,” Wyden said. “It’s the little guys who are going to lose their voice.” The problem for Wyden, though, is that he’s losing some of his most public allies."

Be prepared to start a social media storm on the 4th, moving onward, defending it, and to start blasting these senators on social media. We need the news media on OUR side to shut this down. We MUST protect Section 230. There is no other option.

This is for a press conference. But all the same, spread the word. Be ready to call your senators and reps. But most importantly, DO NOT PANIC! AND DO NOT GIVE UP! They WANT us to give up, to feel hopeless. Don't give them that satisfaction!

Memo to everybody :

Never be afraid to recycle an idea you had for a WIP you abandoned. Sometimes the idea needs a different set of characters or a different setting.

An addition:

Never be afraid to recycle an idea you had for a project you already completed. Sometimes ideas really are just that good and deserve to be used more than once.
