▲ 1118 ▼ Goodbye device ownership, and the last vestiges of free speech will die with this bill as well. (www.govtrack.us) submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by DFX4509B@lemmy.wtf to c/technology@lemmy.world 329 comments fedilink hide all child comments 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.
