A Safer Internet Should Not Come with Democratic Shortcuts

Original: Op-Ed: A Safer Internet Should Not Come with Democratic Shortcuts

The Center for Democracy and Technology has published an op-ed arguing that online safety measures should not be pursued through shortcuts that bypass democratic processes. The piece warns that policymakers, in the rush to make the internet safer, risk adopting measures without proper transparency, accountability, or public debate. It calls for safeguards that respect democratic norms while still addressing online harms.

Why now: Ongoing global debates over internet regulation and online safety laws are raising concerns about due process and oversight.
