Goodbye device ownership, and the last vestiges of free speech will die with this bill as well. (www.govtrack.us)

So, OS-level age-gating is going federal, which will effectively kill your rights to device ownership and what's left of free speech and expression.

Enjoy your free speech while you still have it because this is a clear attempt to erase that right.

SOPA never died, it just went into hiding until time to reemerge, and now's that time, this is basically SOPA in a save the kids trenchcoat.

No it wont. Because we're gonna light shit on fire until this goes away, ICE melts, and the hostages are released from the internment camps. Right?

Sir, this is Lemmy. We came here because we were banned from Reddit. That's about the extent of our action against the system that runs our lives.

Yeah, but if we keep advocating for violent revolution maybe someone else will do it for us so we can have better lives!

I hope they bring some vibe coded, 3d-printed anti-air defense missiles with them!
