Watch This Space: Is FOSTA Unconstitutional?
You all remember the debate in Congress over FOSTA (aka SESTA), the bill approved earlier this year carving a hole in Section 230 immunity for Internet companies when it comes to sex trafficking-related web content. Now, the battle has moved to the courts. Last week, a D.C. federal judge held the first hearing in a motion for preliminary injunction filed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation and others to pause enforcement of FOSTA. EFF says the law is “muzzling Internet users and forcing online platforms to censor their users.”
