It passed 91-3. Our representatives are ignorant dinosaurs who don’t understand the internet or how it works. I already contacted both my senators. I plan to contact my house members before they make this abomination into a law. I encourage everyone to do the same.
They may not know how the interet works but they know exactly how manufactured hysteria works. Whenever the government says “Think of the children”, they’re trying to fool and exploit you. They don’t give a fuck about your children. Your children can’t vote.
“‘Protect kids,’ please.”
Your children
can’t votedon’t have any money
When is it next being acted on? I’d like to actually mail a physical letter explaining my concerns. Maybe they’d like it since they’re dinosaurs.

And of the 3 who voted against it, 2 were Republican and 1 was a Democrat.
Start voting in judges that believe in freedom at the local and state levels.
The way things are, only the courts can decide.
😍US needs more people like you

Only when I want to be lied to.
The 90s?
When they were kids and it wasn’t even in their minds.
The US is a hostile place for online hosting. All small and medium businesses should move their operations out of the US. I did years ago, never looked back. Only the big ones with lobbiests will remain, just as our dear lord and saviour capitalism intended.

Link to the bill here: https://www.congress.gov/amendment/118th-congress/senate-amendment/3021/text
The members of Congress who vote for this bill should remember—they do not, and will not, control who will be in charge of punishing bad internet speech. The Federal Trade Commission, majority-controlled by the President’s party, will be able to decide what kind of content “harms” minors, then investigate or file lawsuits against websites that host that content.
Oh, fuck. I get the Republicans voting for it, but what the fuck is wrong with the Democrats? Bernie voted yes on this thing!

Its almost as if even the better party of the two still has its own agenda that its trying to fulfill.
One that isn’t necessarily in our best interests.
Of course there is a worse side of the coin but you gotta love how any time it is something that really fucks the people good (especially about privacy) they all suddenly magically agree and can pass it in moments.
The fact that even the most progressive one out of the bunch who’s supposed to be the way forward and should’ve had that nomination last time even voted yes on it should jolt everyone awake. But it will not.
We were warned about a two party system.
Can someone tl;Dr the bill? I can’t open the article at work.
If you want to help stop this bill contact your lawmakers here.
What exactly is the benchmark for triggering an investigation? Child Gambling or just cartoons which say the ungodly word “taint”?
Idk, depending on the context I might support this bill. If you need to have real quantifiable evidence of harm done to children then you should expect the authorities to come in and clean it up.
Stop it now. Harness the Orb powers before it’s too late. They wish to destroy the Fediverse, and that’s their own powerful wish. GNU+Linux are very similar, too.
