The specific delta between this position and the current mainstream approaches of both major parties.
NCII protection is one of the most bipartisan issues in this entire platform. The TAKE IT DOWN Act passed the House 409-2 (both dissenting votes Republican) and the Senate unanimously, authored jointly by Sen. Cruz (R) and Sen. Klobuchar (D) with a House companion from Reps. Salazar (R) and Dean (D), and was signed into law by a Republican president after public advocacy from the First Lady. The DEFIANCE Act's civil-remedy companion passed the Senate by unanimous consent. There is essentially no partisan disagreement on the underlying goal. Where a fight does exist is the civil-liberties objection this issue's own Proposal 1 responds to. EFF, CDT, and press-freedom groups (not aligned with either major party specifically) argue the law's takedown mechanism is overbroad without a counter-notice safeguard, a critique that cuts across the traditional left-right axis rather than splitting along it. The Innovation Party's delta: this issue doesn't need to choose a side between the parties, since they already agree. Its contribution is engaging the civil-liberties critique neither party's legislation has addressed yet.
