“Crime must be taken seriously and the internet must not be a lawless land by allowing an exception of this logical view. Rules must be enforced, illegal content removed, and age verified to guarantee the safety of users.”

New Morning Movement
Voted Oct. 30, 2022
Yes

“Government does not create prosperity, people do. Every takedown order, every mandatory verification scheme, every layer of "moderate regulation" is another brick in a wall between citizens and the free exchange of ideas that built the modern economy. We did not get here by asking permission from the state, we got here by trusting individuals, innovators, and entrepreneurs to build what bureaucrats never could. Light-touch regulation is not the absence of responsibility it is the presence of trust. Net neutrality keeps the playing field open for the next generation of builders. Limiting takedown orders to serious crime ensures the state does what it must, and nothing more. This is not deregulation for its own sake. It is the conviction that freedom, not control, is what makes a nation strong, prosperous, and free. We urge every chamber to vote for innovation, for trust, and for the people who built this network not the ones who wish to police it.”
