=== Federal Bills to Review ===

* [https://www.techdirt.com/2025/03/21/democratic-senators-team-up-with-maga-to-hand-trump-a-censorship-machine/ Senators working on a bill that would repeal Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act]. Section 230 is the primary reason we have freedom of speech on the Internet. [https://www.techdirt.com/2020/06/23/hello-youve-been-referred-here-because-youre-wrong-about-section-230-communications-decency-act/ See this explainer]. We have long supported Section 230 implicitly, but we never wrote up a statement why. Including why we support free speech seems important right now, as well.
