![THAT LAST SENTENCE, ABOUT "TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND TECHNOLOGY FIRMS"? THAT GOES TO SOMETHING CALLED SECTION 230. SECTION 230 IS PART OF THE COMMUNICATIONS ACT OF 1934, ENACTED AS PART OF THE COMMUNICATIONS DECENCY ACT OF 1996, OFTEN SHORTENED TO SIMPLY THE CDA. DANCE! Video unavailable Content REMOVED for copyright violation ــن HERE'S WHY SECTION 230 IS IMPORTANT. THE NEXT TRUMP ADMINISTRATION PLANS TO ISSUE "AN ORDER THAT INTERPRETS SECTION 230...IN A WAY THAT ELIMINATES THE EXPANSIVE, NON-TEXTUAL IMMUNITIES THAT COURTS HAVE READ INTO THE STATUTE." [P2025, P.825-826] IT STATES SPECIFICALLY THAT NO PROVIDER OR USER OF AN INTERACTIVE COMPUTER SERVICE IS LIABLE AS "PUBLISHER OR SPEAKER" IF ACTING IN "GOOD FAITH." SO, IF YOU HAD DOWNLOADED "WALK ON THE WILD SIDE" FROM APPLE MUSIC, THIS MEANS APPLE IS SAFE. YOU TAKE THE FALL, NOT THEM. REMEMBER THAT EVER-EXPANDING DEFINITION OF P----------? SO IF YOU DOWNLOAD THE LATEST EPISODE OF YOUR FAVORITE PODCAST OR BUY A NEW EBOOK FOR YOUR KINDLE... ...AND THERE IS ANYTHING IN IT THAT VIOLATES PROJECT 2025'S INCREDIBLY BROAD DEFINITION OF WHAT YOU'RE ALLOWED TO ENJOY... ...IT'S NOT ONLY YOU WHO WILL BE BREAKING THE LAW... JANUARY 7 S4E125 ...BUT THE PROVIDERS AND THE CONTENT CREATORS WHO WILL COMPLY, IF ONLY TO PROTECT THEIR BOTTOM LINE. SUSPENDED FOR PORNOGRAPHIC CONTENT WITHOUT SECTION 230'S PROTECTIONS, EVERYTHING ONLINE WILL BECOME FAIR GAME FOR CENSORSHIP. BLOG POSTS, NEWSLETTERS, INSTAGRAM SHORTS, ALL OF IT WILL BE CENSORED. AND ONCE YOU DO THAT... ...IT'S VERY, VERY EASY TO DO IT TO EVERYONE WHO DOESN'T SHARE PROJECT 2025 AND DONALD TRUMP'S AUTHORITARIAN AGENDA.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/002/930/854/882.png "Internet Freedom (2/2)")
![LET'S SAY YOU'RE ENJOYING HIS 1972 ALBUM, "TRANSFORMER." YOU AND A FRIEND, JUST DIGGING "TAKE A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE." EXCEPT YOU'VE JUST COMMITTED A CRIME. "WALK ON THE WILD SIDE" IS CLASSIFIED AS P---------- UNDER PROJECT 2025. D WE'RE GONNA SHOW YOU HOW TWO SEPARATE ACTS WITHIN PROJECT 2025 COMBINE FOR AN ABSURD AND, BY EXTENSION, GENUINELY EVIL INTENTION. Walk on the Wild Side Lou Reed 0:27 WHY? BECAUSE IN THE SONG AFTER HOLLY SHAVES HER LEGS, "HE WAS A SHE." ANY MENTION OF GENDER IDENTITY IS "PORNOGRAPHIC" ACCORDING TO PROJECT 2025. SPOLICE SO WE START HERE. SAY YOU'RE INTO MUSIC... LOR AUDIOBOOKS, OR PODCASTS, OR YOUTUBE SHORTS, OR INSTAGRAM STORIES OR TIKTOKS, IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE THIS APPLIES IN ALL OF THOSE CASES AND MORE. FOR NOW, LET'S SAY MUSIC. LET'S SAY YOU'RE INTO LOU REED. IT'S A CLASSIC, AFTER ALL. GETS BETTER. IF IT WAS YOUR COPY AND YOU WERE PLAYING IT FOR A FRIEND? UNDER PROJECT 2025, YOU'RE GUILTY OF DISTRIBUTING P---------- AND YOU'RE GOING TO PRISON. WE WISH WE WERE MAKING THIS UP. THIS INSANITY STARTS ON DAY ONE OF A TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. "P---------- should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. "And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered." [P2025, p.5] SO THAT'S THE ABSURD PART. HERE COMES THE EVIL.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/002/930/852/9dc.png "Internet Freedom (1/2)")

Overview
Project 2025 is a political plan created by the activist conservative think tank Heritage Foundation in conjunction with other Republican lawmakers and political advocates that is reported to be put into action if Donald Trump wins the 2024 United States Presidential Election. The plan is called Project 2025 because it is believed to go into effect as soon as Trump is reinaugurated in January 2025. Project 2025 first emerged online in 2023 and became increasingly discussed as a controversial concept throughout the year, drawing backlash and concern from many online, particularly from more liberal-minded social media users.
Background
According to a New York Times[5] article published on April 20th, 2023, Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts originally established Project 2025 sometime in 2022 to provide the 2024 Republican Party presidential nominee with a personnel and ideology framework.
On April 21st, 2023, the Heritage Foundation uploaded the framework under the title "Comprehensive Policy Guide- Mandate For Leadership: The Conservative Promise" to the official Project 2025 website[1] in the form of a 920-page paperback book that could be bought for $35.
A month before the book release, Project 2025 was another arm of the Heritage Foundation that helped fund and organize events for CPAC, as seen in the tweet by CPAC[2] on March 1st, 2023, thanking Project 2025 for their assistance and calling them it "Presidential Transition Plan" (shown below).
On April 28th, 2023, the Heritage Foundation then uploaded a video to its YouTube channel discussing Project 2025, which accumulated over 9,300 views in roughly five months (seen below).
Developments
As increased campaigning and news started to swirl around the 2024 Presidential Election, talk of Project 2025 increased in mid-2023, receiving additional attention from the media and appearing in various discussions online.
For example, on July 23rd, 2023, the Political show host Mehdi Hasan uploaded a segment from his MSNBC show to X[3] in which he goes over Project 2025 in more detail and his issues with it (shown below).
I spoke of Project 2025 yesterday. Here’s another take on it.
This is NOT liberal scaremongering this is simply reporting what the right is now saying out loud.#DemsAct #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #ONEV1 #FAM46

Online Reactions
After the entire document was leaked online, it started to spread as people uploaded videos of themselves reading passages from it and giving their reactions. For example, on September 12th, 2023, TikToker CoyoteAnnie[4] uploaded a TikTok of herself reading different passages from it off a downloaded PDF copy, pointing out their personal issues with the plan and what it could mean for single mothers if enacted. This TikTok helped to popularize further readings and scrutiny of the source material while earning over 75,000 likes and getting over 500,000 views in 20 hours (shown below).
