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.

    I was reading a list of bills and whatnot from March the other day. They all say "and for other purposes" they all say that

    This one literally just tacks it at the end of the proposal. As it gives no purposes other than "and for other"

    yeah, I was following up on a bill introduced by one of me senators and was poking around this website https://www.govtrack.us/

    I dont know why, but every bill has this phrase written at the end of it. It is ominous, and I dont know why theyre written this way, probablt some legal bullshit.
