EARN IT Act? More Like BURN IT Act!

Share

This is a meme image that was created in reaction to the return of the dangerous EARNIT Act in February 2022 (See Here for more Information). It's a document with all of the elements of the Free Internet/Section 230 that is in danger of being burned by a lighter labelled "EARN IT ACT" being held by a hand with the names of all the Senators and organizations responsible for it's creation. The background is also filled with the names of other internet-unfriendly and dangerous bills in the past, such as SOPA/PIPA, the Chat Control Act, Online Safety Act, and so forth.


That said, you'd probably also like to have some actual things you can DO against this act as well, so some EXTRA TAKE ACTION ideas and things you can do:


  1. TEXT PVLKLV To 50409 to send an automated message to your representative to vote NO For EARNIT.
  2. Spread the Word online! Link to the various petitions and other info-dense articles about this Act below!
  3. Also the Twitter Hashtags: #EARNITAct, #STOPTheEARNITAct2022, #NoEarnItAct
  4. But also effective is to contact your Senators directly. You can Fax them your concerns via https://faxzero.com/, and use the call script below if you need any help with starting.

There is also a list of organizations that opposed the original EARN IT Act back in 2020, but a number of them haven't made their opposition known/public this time around. So this is a good time to get their attention and get them to stand against this again! BE POLITE HOWEVER!
