Today, Senate Majority Leader Mike Dugan (R – Carrollton) released the following statement on the passage on Senate Bill 393, the “Common Carrier Non-Discrimination Act.”:

“Georgia is about to be the first state in the nation to empower users of social media platforms. By passing SB 393, we are ensuring Georgians are not unfairly targeted for their personal ideologies by giving oversight of social media platforms to our Public Service Commission.

It is mind-numbing that Russia and the Ayatollah of Iran are granted unfettered access to online platforms, but Americans face censorship for beliefs contrary to mainstream media.”
