April 6th, 2025 Meeting: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 14:05, 6 April 2025

Recording:

Should we hold it at ROOTED Armory Cafe again? I emailed them to check on what dates were available.
When should we pick the date by? ROOTED Armory Cafe looks open until 7pm most weekend days, but choosing sooner is better than later.

A Massachusetts college student asked to intern with us this Summer. Questions:

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. 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.
