Boston: Council Adopts Resolution Opposing Legislation Restricting Access to Online Resources
Rezul News/10735351
~ Boston City Council Stands in Solidarity with LGBTQIA+ and Marginalized Communities Against Proposed Online Restrictions
In a unanimous decision, the Boston City Council adopted a resolution on Tuesday opposing federal and state legislation that could limit access to online resources for 2SLGBTQIA+ communities and other marginalized groups. The resolution, offered by Councilors Santana and Mejia, reaffirms the city's commitment to protecting the dignity, rights, and safety of LGBTQIA+ residents and other vulnerable populations.
The resolution emphasizes the crucial role that online spaces play as lifelines for individuals seeking information, community support, and critical services. This is especially true for queer and trans youth, survivors of abuse, and those seeking reproductive health care. The Council recognizes that any restrictions on these online resources could have devastating consequences for these communities.
Specifically, the resolution expresses opposition to proposed measures such as the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), the SCREEN Act, the App Store Accountability Act, mandatory age verification requirements, and efforts to weaken Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. The Council argues that these proposals could not only limit access to vital information but also raise privacy concerns and disproportionately impact marginalized communities.

The Council also raises concerns about how age verification requirements could create barriers to access for certain individuals. Additionally, changes to Section 230 could potentially lead to increased censorship of online content related to reproductive health care and gender-affirming care.
In addition to opposing these restrictive measures, the resolution also supports legislative efforts aimed at holding large technology companies accountable while protecting free expression, privacy, and access to information. This includes measures such as the Algorithmic Justice and Transparency Act and the Open App Markets Act.
The Boston City Council is calling on Massachusetts' congressional delegation and Governor Charlie Baker to oppose the referenced legislation and instead promote policies that protect digital access and civil rights. With this resolution in place, Boston stands in solidarity with LGBTQIA+ and marginalized communities in the fight against online restrictions.
