France's proposed bill for securing and regulating digital spaces, #SREN, not only threatens @Wikipedia's community-led model, but also contradicts the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA).

We call on French lawmakers to amend four main aspects of the bill.

Section 230 protects diverse websites and online services from lawsuits for harms content that users post.

Our blog post is a resource to consider how reform or repeal of Section 230 can change the internet as we know it—including the @Wikimedia projects.
