Any time a bill claims to be about protecting children, 10/10 times it’s actually hiding something more sinister that has nothing to do with that. I don’t trust this.
You’d be right in this case too. It’s extremely sketchy, it’s pretty much absolute censorship power with only an informal promise that it won’t be used for anything nefarious (but a refusal to actually codify anything preventing that). “Harmful content” is left very conveniently vague.
Can you elaborate on that claim? I couldn’t find anything substantial in the article.
if they decide that treating the “transgendereds” like people is “harmful to children” then it’ll be banned.
The Crypto Wars have never ended. Governments dream of a world without public access to encryption and privacy. And many government attacks on encryption are done “for the children”.
The EFF isn’t a fan and various other rights orgs have worked against KOSA.
…Well fuck.
Bipartisan is a really bad sign. My money says this is not going to be aimed at actually addressing the underlying profit motive that drives big tech to purposefully promote misery through their algorithm designs, instead it will be further restriction on users freedoms and privacy.
That’s a nice way of saying “the kind of censorship that will destroy the internet as we know it”
the worst laws in the US are always supported by both parties
“For the kids”…LMAO.
