Net Neutrality 31

Hi again Female Muscle Fans. Now there is another point about this subject, in which the fight for Internet is reaching critic places. So let’s begin with this article.

Now the new subject is about Section 230. According with Open Media, this is the information about this: For decades, websites like Reddit and Twitter have had legal protection for content posted by users. So-called “Section 230” protection that allows all of the social media sites we use to speak to each other online to exist. But now the FCC is considering selectively ending those protections, which could lead to widespread censorship, constant “takedown” orders, and a politically-appointed body deciding what we can say on the net. The FCC is required to take public comments on the plan until September 2, and OpenMedia is rallying our community to flood the agency with as many responses as possible to send a clear message: Hands off our Internet!

Here's the deal: Since 1995, content from third-parties (like you and me) has been protected by a law called Section 230, which shields websites to a large extent from being held legally responsible for what others publish on their sites. Section 230 gives sites like Twitter, Facebook, and Vimeo the freedom to make their own rules for what content they'll allow without fearing that they'll be sued or shut down by the government.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation calls Section 230 “the most important law protecting Internet speech.”

But in May, President Trump—angered over his perception that social media sites like Twitter are biased against him—ordered a review of Section 230.That review asks the FCC to make several changes to Section 230 that would severely weaken the rule, opening platforms to lawsuits or government action if the FCC doesn't approve of their terms of service or how they're enforced.

Under these new rules, platforms that host our content would be pressured to censor anything that might upset the government.

This is a free speech emergency, and we need a massive response. We have less than a month to drive as many people as possible to comment on the FCC website, so we're going to post ads and use social media to spread the word far and wide.

Section 230 is the shield we have all users in posting any kind of content without censorship, and now we must fight and pressuring to FCC in order to get our opinion on the table, and the limit date is September 2nd. These are the sites in which you can write your messages:
