In this episode of my Section 230 mini series, I break down how anti abortion groups are targeting the internet itself. From the 1873 Comstock Act to modern day efforts to repeal Section 230, there is a long history of using censorship laws to suppress reproductive health information.
The fight for reproductive justice and bodily autonomy has always been deeply connected to free speech and open access to information online. I sat down with Sarah Philips from Fight for the Future to uncover the real, hidden agenda behind the push to repeal Section 230.
While politicians constantly frame weakening Section 230 as a way to "hold Big Tech accountable," these efforts actually undermine our right to access vital information related to reproductive justice and abortion online. We dive deep into the history of speech law, and talk about where the fight stands today.
Here is what we cover in this episode:
--- How early internet censorship efforts were disguised as protecting kids from indecent material.
--- The devastating impact of SESTA/FOSTA and how it led to mass content takedowns of sex education and LGBTQ+ resources.
--- How the narrative of "tech addiction" is being weaponized to pass restrictive internet laws.
--- How anti-abortion extremists are targeting Section 230 to take down abortion funds and restrict out-of-state travel for care.
--- Why protecting Section 230 is vital for shielding secure messaging apps like Signal and Telegram.
Speaking out against Big Tech and challenging institutional power is not lucrative, and these videos are entirely self-funded. If you value this content, please support my work so I can continue making this series!!!
