"The #OnlineNewsAct endangers the Internet at a time when we need this critical resource the most. Parliament must reverse course and withdraw the bill, before the Internet as we know it slips out of our hands." - @ndunleavy via @TheHillTimes

"[The #EARNITAct] is probably one of our biggest encryption-threatening bills worldwide." - @ndunleavy, Internet Society senior director of North American government and regulatory affairs, via @CyberScoopNews

Critics of the bill say the Supreme Court's abortion ruling and state laws targeting LGBQT+ rights make the stakes higher than ever.

DNSSEC prevents hackers from intercepting and modifying data when it’s transmitted, reducing the risk of attacks such as DNS cache poisoning. In Canada, the top ISPs are barely validating DNSSEC & in the US, @comcast is the only top ISP validating.

"But because #Section230 protects the entire Internet, including the very ability of individuals to participate in it, it is a poor vehicle to address problems caused by a small subset of those online." - @SullivanISOC
