There have been some calls—from both sides of the aisle—for a Big Government to mandate or dictate free speech or ensure fairness online. These proposals are not consistent with the #FirstAmendment.
It shouldn't be the @FCC, @FTC , or any government agency’s job to moderate free speech online.  Instead, we should continue to provide oversight of Big Tech & their use of #Section230, and also encourage constructive discussions on the responsible use of content moderation.
We should have a serious & thoughtful discussion on achieving the balance of #Section230. I'm not for gutting it. It’s essential for consumers and innovators in the Internet ecosystem.
Misguided and hasty attempts to amend or even repeal #Section230 for bias or other reasons could have unintended consequences for #freespeech and the ability for small businesses to provide new and innovative services.

But earlier this year, I challenged others to find ways to reach out to those who are not yet friends of the pro-life community by sharing their stories. So, this is my story cc: @RuthMarcus.
I know how difficult it is to be told that your child’s life is going to be different than you dreamed.
