In today’s political climate, Section 230's protection serves an even more vital function: to prevent liability from being turned into a tool of indirect government control over lawful speech and political discourse. buff.ly/OCZEfHc

🚨 🏛️ Last night, NetChoice filed a lawsuit to stop censorship, challenging South Carolina’s new Speech Code.

"South Carolina’s speech code must contend with the First Amendment, and in that matchup, the First Amendment will win every time," said @paultaske.bsky.social.

Europe’s aggressive digital regulations are being wielded as bludgeons against American enterprise and free speech.

It’s time for Congress to pass a unified federal standard that protects all Americans, regardless of their zip code.

We need an American standard that reflects American values: protecting privacy while fostering the free enterprise that makes our tech the envy of the world.

Another Data Privacy Week is here, but one thing remains frustratingly static: the absence of a unified, nationwide data privacy standard in the United States.

It's is time for a federal framework that protects all Americans and respects the positive uses of data.

Happy Data Privacy Week!

In NetChoice’s Digital Safety Shield, we advocate for a federal data privacy framework to protect the data of ALL Americans and families.

Americans’ privacy rights shouldn’t depend on their zip code.

American innovation thrives under principles of free enterprise and competition based on merit. AICOA abandons that for an approach that's already proving costly and counterproductive in Europe.

We must take a different path, not follow Europe off a cliff.

Today, NetChoice was in the 9th Circuit to defend free expression from California's online speech code.

Courts have consistently rejected the law, recognizing it for what it is: state-mandated censorship.

Yesterday, NetChoice won a permanent block of Louisiana's age verification law.

The Court ruled that the law, which conditioned Louisianans’ ability to access protected speech online on their willingness to hand over sensitive government ID, violates the First Amendment. buff.ly/MtZNKCU
