The EARN IT Act would amend Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act to require companies to “earn” their liability protection for violations of laws related to the trafficking of child sexual abuse material. The EARN IT Act lays out best practices for companies to maintain immunity from child sexual abuse material statutes and bolsters enforcement if companies choose not to comply with the practices. The companies would not lose Section 230 protections for other content like defamation and threats.
> As someone concerned about internet freedom, you will be pleased to know that I am an original cosponsor of the Save the Internet Act. This bill would remand the Commission back to its February 2015 ruling protecting and promoting an open internet and make the net neutrality permanent. This bill would also prevent the Federal Communications Commission from reissuing any rulings or orders unless specifically authorized by law.
> I also voted for S. J. Res. 52, a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution which would reverse the December 14, 2017 vote by the Federal Communications Commission to repeal the Open Internet Order of 2015. The resolution, which I cosponsored, passed the Senate on May 16, 2018. In addition to cosponsoring the CRA, I cosigned a letter to FCC Chairman Ajit Pai opposing the FCC’s vote to eliminate net neutrality. Access to information and open communications are critical to maintaining democratic internet practices, supporting small businesses, and protecting consumers. The EARN IT Act was introduced in the Senate Judiciary Committee, and although I am not a member of this Committee, please know that I will keep your views in mind in the future.
Wow. So they can’t even take the time to write their own thoughtful reply to their constituents on heated issues? They simply plagiarize the work of others or pay some intern to do it?
How insulting.
What the heck is wrong with these politicians? Do they think their office is simply a place where they can “play Game of Thrones” and sit back and smirk?
And we wonder why Americans band together in excitement for non-career-politician presidential candidates like Yang and Trump.
