The Tech Lobbying Group Helping to Broaden the First Amendment's Reach
Briefly

The Kids Online Safety Act has faced strong opposition from NetChoice, which argues that provisions aimed at protecting children equate to censorship and violate the First Amendment.
NetChoice, representing tech giants, claims that social media platforms like Meta and Google serve as modern-day soapboxes, with the content they host deserving First Amendment protections.
Despite bipartisan support, child safety legislation stalls in Congress, primarily due to legal challenges initiated by NetChoice, emphasizing the tension between child protection laws and perceived free speech rights.
Tech lobby NetChoice has argued against child safety regulations, stating they restrict access to content and undermine free expression despite their intent to protect children and combat disinformation.
