Stop Trump's internet censorship plan
Donald Trump's proposed executive order would allow the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Trade Commission to erode key free speech protections online. This is an unacceptable attempt to censor a free and open internet. We insist that you take all steps to stop him from imposing this order.
Why is this important?
Donald Trump and Ajit Pai already dealt a huge blow to internet freedom when they ended net neutrality last year. This new proposal is a dramatic escalation in Trump's attack on free speech.
His executive order would allow the FCC and FTC, led by his handpicked cronies, to initiate regulatory action against companies that don't police speech online in exactly the way Trump wants.
This is an authoritarian proposal that would erode our freedoms online at precisely the moment when a free and open internet is most essential.
