The EARN IT Act can be a meaningful step toward reforming this unconscionably excessive Section 230 shield to Big Tech accountability.

I share Senator Hawley's frustration and impatience, as you may have gathered, and I feel that sense of outrage at congressional inaction.
The idea of the EARN IT Act is very simple: that if any company wants to have any defense or immunity against legal action, it has to earn it.
As Senator Blumenthal has said, eyeballs on that site for a longer period of time--it's more money, money, money in the bank.
It's a public health emergency, egregiously and knowingly exacerbated by Big Tech.
The EARN IT Act can be a meaningful step toward reforming this unconscionably excessive Section 230 shield to Big Tech accountability.
I feel is outrage: outrage at inaction, Congress' inexcusable failure to pass the bill that you advance courageously and eloquently, the Kids Online Safety Act.
The EARN IT Act and the Kids Online Safety Act are the least we can do, the very least we can do, to help begin protecting against Big Tech.
The idea of the EARN IT Act is very simple: that if any company wants to have any defense or immunity against legal action, it has to earn it.

As Senator Blumenthal has said, eyeballs on that site for a longer period of time--it's more money, money, money in the bank.
I share Senator Hawley's frustration and impatience, as you may have gathered, and I feel that sense of outrage at congressional inaction.
The EARN IT Act can be a meaningful step toward reforming this unconscionably excessive Section 230 shield to Big Tech accountability.
But beyond heartbreak, what I feel is outrage: outrage at inaction, Congress' inexcusable failure to pass the bill...
Now if you are concerned about artists, consumers, venues, and about the public interest, you would take action under current law.
I am supporting legislation talking about remedies, legislation called the BOSS Act.
