Statement On The Paycheck Protection Flexibility Act

Washington, DC – Internet Association’s Senior Vice President of Global Government Affairs Michael Bloom released the following statement on the Paycheck Protection Flexibility Act: 

“The internet industry appreciates the House passing the Paycheck Protection Flexibility Act, ensuring that the millions of Americans participating in the online economy are supported during the unprecedented economic downturn brought on by the pandemic. While this legislation is a needed first step, more can be done to support sole proprietors and account for the diverse ways in which people earn income through the internet. The industry will continue to work with Congress on future legislation to make sure America’s families and businesses – including sole proprietors, independent contractors, and other micro-business owners – receive the economic relief they need.”
