Dear Supporter of Digital Freedom, Twenty years ago, we all came together against a fundamental threat to free speech online. We won, and in the process, we got one of the most important protections for free expression over the Internet. Congress just put that protection on the chopping block. Don't let its name fool you: the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act wouldn't help punish sex traffickers. What it would do is expose any organization or company that hosts third-party content on the Internet to the risk of overwhelming criminal and civil liability for the actions of its customers. Your favorite social media site could be in danger. So could your favorite dating app, the obscure messaging board you use to talk about your favorite game or TV show, or the mailing list you use to share news with your neighbors. Even web platforms run by nonprofit and community groups, which serve as invaluable outlets for free expression and knowledge sharing, could be in trouble. The Internet as we know it is at risk. Please consider taking a moment to send a note to your members of Congress: sex trafficking is a horrible problem, but this bill is not the solution.
