NOTABLE FEDERAL EFFORTS IN THE US INCLUDE: ADVOCACY ON THE KIDS ONLINE SAFETY ACT (KOSA - 118TH CONGRESS, HR 7891 AND S 1409), WHERE THE ASSOCIATION DRAFTED KOSA PRINCIPLES AND REDLINES WHICH WERE SHARED WITH CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS; AMERICAN PRIVACY RIGHTS ACT (APRA - 118TH CONGRESS DISCUSSION DRAFT) WHERE THE ASSOCIATION MET WITH CONGRESSIONAL OFFICES TO DISCUSS CONCERNS WHICH LARGELY FOCUSED ON ISSUES WITH DATA MINIMIZATION, OPT-OUT, ENFORCEMENT, PREEMPTION, AND INCLUSION OF KOSA PROVISIONS; COMMERCE, JUSTICE, SCIENCE, AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2025 (118TH CONGRESS) WHERE THE ASSOCIATION WORKED TO ENSURE THAT THE ITC WAS PRIORITIZING ITS PUBLIC INTEREST REQUIREMENTS BEFORE ISSUING AN EXCLUSION ORDER; UNIVERSAL SERVICE FUND DRAFT FRAMEWORK (118TH CONGRESS DISCUSSION DRAFT) WHERE THE ASSOCIATION DOCUMENTED AND PUBLICIZED THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT THE DIGITAL SECTOR CONTRIBUTEs TOWARDS BROADBAND DEPLOYMENT; SECTION 230 SUNSET ACT, WHERE THE ASSOCIATION PUBLISHED RESEARCH ON THE EFFECT OF REPEALING SECTION 230 ON THE STOCK MARKET, THE RESULTS OF WHICH WERE SHARED WITH POLICYMAKERS CONSIDERING REPEAL EFFORTS. INTERNATIONALLY, THE ASSOCIATION ADVOCATED ON PROPOSED EX -ANTE DIGITAL REGULATIONS IN SEVERAL JURISDICTIONS, INCLUDING BRAZIL, INDIA AND KOREA.

  • THE ASSOCIATION AMPLIFIED ITS LITIGATION EFFORTS AS CO-PLAINTIFF IN TWO FEDERAL LAWSUITS, TAKING TWO STATES TO THE SUPREME COURT TO FIGHT UNCONSTITUTIONAL INTERNET REGULATION THAT WOULD PREVENT DIGITAL SERVICES FROM EXERCISING THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS BY FORCING THE DISPLAY OF THIRD-PARTY CONTENT AND DISCLOSING SENSITIVE CONTENT MANAGEMENT POLICIES AND PRACTICES. IN MOODY V NETCHOICE, A FEDERAL JUDGE BLOCKED THE LAW FROM TAKING EFFECT, AND THE ASSOCIATION PURSUED THE APPEALS ALL THE WAY TO THE SUPREME COURT WHO VALIDATED THE CLAIMS THAT THE LAW IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. IN NETCHOICE & CCIA V PAXTON, THE ASSOCIATION SOUGHT EMERGENCY RELIEF FROM THE SUPREME COURT ASKING THAT A LOWER COURT INJUNCTION AGAINST HB 20 BE REINSTATED, WHICH THE COURT GRANTED. ON THE FINAL DAY OF THE TERM, THE SUPREME COURT HELD THAT THE FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTS ONLINE SPEECH AND EDITORIAL DECISION FROM GOVERNMENT INTRUSION IN BOTH CASES. THE ASSOCIATION WAS ALSO EXTREMELY ACTIVE AS AN AMICUS CURIAE, FILING SEVENTEEN AMICUS BRIEFS IN TRIAL AND APPELLATE COURTS AROUND THE COUNTRY AS WELL AS THE US SUPREME COURT.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Answered yes

  • 3 · Compensation committee
  • 3 · Form 990 of other organizations
  • 3 · Written employment contract
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee

Answered no

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
