Another waste of our time and money. It’s a bill to try and force companies to remove content they don’t like…or else.
This will be shot down in court (again), and since the platforms themselves will be respontfir removing content, will not be forced to comply. It’s unconstitutional and unenforceable, so just a big ass waste of everyone’s fucking time. So dumb.
Even progressive darlen AOC voted for this bullshit. You know who won’t Sanders.
You’re assuming the courts will shoot it down. That’s a big assumption these days.
Show me one case where a judge has ruled an unconstitutional thing is suddenly constitutional in all these court cases. Even SCOTUS isnt playing that game.
So how would this work with the fediverse? Like we federate all content…its going to be VERY difficult to do anything if political content keeps being told to take it down.
It doesnt work. Literally unenforceable outside of traditional walled gardens.
such as reddit, we already know they have been doing it at the behest of the gop since '16
