These Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation, or SLAPPs, aren’t designed to win on the merits, but rather to harass journalists, activists, and consumers into silence by suing them over their protected speech.</p> <p>Now there’s a bill in Congress that will allow speakers targeted by SLAPPs to fight back, by getting the lawsuits quickly thrown out of federal court, and allow for SLAPP victims to get their legal fees back. The Free Speech Protection Act, H.R. 10310, sponsored by Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA), will protect people from getting sued just for exercising their constitutional rights.</p> </p> </a> </div> </div> <div class="the-actions"> <div class="more-actions-image"> <a href="/action/tell-congress-kosa-will-censor-the-internet-but-won-t-help-kids"><img src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/actioncenter/action_pages/featured_images/000/000/536/original/student-privacy-og.jpg?1683573926" alt="Student privacy og" /></a> </div> <h5 class="category"> Free Speech </h5> <div class="more-actions-text"> <h3>Tell Congress: KOSA Will Censor the Internet But Won't Help Kids <a href="/action/tell-congress-kosa-will-censor-the-internet-but-won-t-help-kids"> </h3> <p> <p>The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) would censor the internet and would make government officials the arbiters of what young people can see online. It will likely lead to age verification, handing more power, and private data, to third-party identity verification companies like Clear or ID.me.</p> <p>The government should not have the power to decide what topics are "safe" online for young people, and to force services to remove and block access to anything that might be considered unsafe for children.

Nonprofits would not have a meaningful opportunity to defend themselves, and could be targeted without disclosing the reasons or evidence for the decision. Even if they are not targeted, the threat alone could chill the activities of some nonprofit organizations. Over 130 civil liberties, religious, reproductive health, immigrant rights, human rights, racial justice, LGBTQ+, environmental, and educational organizations signed a letter opposing the bill as written. We most tell the Senate not to pass H.R. 9495, the so-called “Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act.”</p> </p> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="see-all"> <a href="/action">See all our campaigns</a> </div> </div> </section> </div> <div class="footer"> <div class="container"> <div class="logo"> <a href="https://www.eff.org"><span class="sr-only">Electronic Frontier Foundation</span></a> </div> <div class="footer-nav"> <a class="flex-item" target="_blank" href="https://www.eff.org/thanks" class="hidden-xs">Thanks</a> <a class="flex-item"target="_blank" href="https://www.eff.org/rss">RSS Feeds</a> <a class="flex-item"target="_blank" href="https://www.eff.org/copyright" class="hidden-xs">Copyright Policy</a> <a class="flex-item"target="_blank" href="https://www.eff.org/policy">Privacy Policy</a> <a class="flex-item"target="_blank" href="https://github.com/EFForg/action-center-platform" class="hidden-xs">Open Source</a> <a class="flex-item"target="_blank" href="https://www.eff.org/about/contact">Contact</a> </div> </div> </div> <script src="/assets/application-7d19e669beb26be5b22d19863f7bfd7a5dd0338857bc909a10c3be26a4a493b2.js"></script> <div id="anon-stats"><noscript><img src="https://anon-stats.eff.org/js/?action_name=EFF+Action+Center&idsite=13&rec=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fact.eff.org%2F" style="border:0" alt="" /></noscript><script> //<![CDATA[ document.getElementById('anon-stats').innerHTML = '<img src="https://anon-stats.eff.org/js/?action_name=EFF+Action+Center&idsite=13&rec=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fact.eff.org%2F&urlref=' + encodeURIComponent(document.referrer) + '" style="border:0" alt="" />'; //]]> </script></div> </body> </html>
