Op-Ed Warns Against Democratic Shortcuts in Online Safety

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

The Center for Democracy and Technology has published an opinion piece arguing that making the internet safer should not come at the cost of democratic principles. The authors contend that online safety measures risk being implemented through shortcuts that bypass democratic oversight and accountability, and they call for approaches to platform regulation and content moderation that preserve due process and public participation.

Why now: Debates over internet regulation and content moderation are intensifying, and civil society groups are pushing back against policy approaches they see as bypassing democratic checks.
