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.

My expectation is that Americans will continue getting fucked by their government because the only ones interested in ‘resistance’ will ladle at a soup kitchen about it

    My brother in Christ look up the aforementioned SRA. You look like an idiot.

    Not even gonna engage with the argument that feeding folks in your community isnt valuable resistance. Thats dumb as fuck.

    Duckduckgo having crap results doesnt really change my point that I included several options compatible with America being a "stay strapped or get clapped place", or substantiate the point that my only suggestion was a soup kitchen (which to be clear, is absolutely valuable praxis that improves our abilities to work together on bigger issues). I dont think it even really matters if its a huge important organization, I just want people to have options put in front of them so people start to consider what they can be doing, and theres all kinds of things people can do to contribute. And if you feel thats important, Ice watch orgs (siembra where I live, who's also a workers rights org) are pretty big, the stop detention centers NC signal is pretty big, and thats just the scale of what's local to me. The stop cop city project in atlanta has been pretty massive, but I'm not sure how things are doing after their more recent legal troubles, I'm not in Atlanta.

    My frustration with them comes from the fact that they were ignorant about what I said and still responded with some bullshit in various places in this thread. There are people in my community whos families dont know where they ended up. People I love are afraid for their saftey.

    And its the 2nd result on both google and brave search, kagi put it like 7th or eighth. Duckduckgo and the bing results it pulls from are just frequently not great. Google pulled it up even when signed out or in cromite so its not just search personalization

    There are people missing from my community. Folks I love are afraid theyre unsafe. But being an asshole about it on the internet from far away seems more fun to you I guess.

    You seem like a piece of shit, and you're transparently arguing in bad faith if you're gonna ignore 50% of what I said just to mock me for suggestions that people get involved in their community

    I hope you're able to figure out how to grow as a person, take care.
