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.”
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.

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!
