Oregon Alert: Thank Senator Wyden for Opposing Internet Censorship
At the end of November, the “Combating Online Infringements and Counterfeits Act” (COICA) was unanimously approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee over the objections of progressives, conservatives, expert technologists, law professors, and more.
With COICA past committee, there was a risk that the full Senate would then move to pass this dangerous Internet censorship bill. Thankfully, Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) recognized that the bill’s domain name blacklisting provisions would censor legitimate speech, impede innovation, and break the Internet and placed a hold on the bill, preventing it from passing during this session of Congress. In an interview with Politico, Senator Wyden showed that he understands the stakes: “[Y]ou shouldn’t go about [combating copyright infringement] in a way that is going to set up a regime of censorship, put restrictions on sites in a way that chills innovation and it seems to me that we’ll basically be giving license to foreign governments to adopt their own policies of censorship.”
Thank Senator Wyden for putting the brakes on this dangerous bill and addressing its flaws head-on!
