Didn't this bill also contained a social media ban?

If a bill headlines as “think of the children” it is always evil and full of unrelated shit. No exceptions.

Good on those 3 republicans for looking out for their constituents. Now if you’ll excuse me I need to go take a shower after writing that last sentence.

looks into the bill

Yet another "stop the kicking of puppies" bill that also included sacrificing all firstborns to the dark lord.

They just want AI to "ThInk abOUt THe cHildREn!"

One issue per bill. Those fuckers need to start working for their money again, not just continually posturing for sound bites they can use in their next election. But wait...that's getting a bit too close to transparency.

Before anyone twists my point, let me be perfectly clear: I have absolutely zero tolerance for child abuse, child exploitation, or child sexual abuse material in any form. Anyone involved in harming children deserves to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

That said, this meme is exactly why social media is such a terrible place to get political information.

The post claims that three Republicans voted against a bill banning AI-generated child sexual abuse material, but then provides none of the information necessary to evaluate the claim. It doesn't tell you the bill number. It doesn't tell you who voted no. It doesn't explain their reasoning. It doesn't link the text of the bill. It doesn't even attempt to discuss what was actually in the legislation.

Instead, it relies entirely on the assumption that the audience will immediately conclude that anyone who voted against the bill must support child exploitation. That is a massive leap, and one the meme intentionally encourages.

Legislators vote against bills for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes those reasons are bad. Sometimes they are legitimate concerns about constitutionality, definitions, enforcement mechanisms, unintended consequences, or provisions that have been bundled into the legislation. Whether those objections are valid is a discussion worth having. The problem is that this meme doesn't have that discussion at all.

In fact, it doesn't provide enough information for anyone to have an informed opinion. It simply presents a highly emotional topic, omits all relevant context, and invites outrage.

Maybe those three votes were completely indefensible. Maybe they weren't. The point is that nobody reading this meme has been given enough information to know. The purpose of the post is not to inform the reader. The purpose is to provoke an emotional response and direct that emotion toward a particular political group.

If your argument is strong, you should be able to tell people what the bill was, who voted against it, and why they said they voted against it. If all of that information is missing, what you're looking at is not analysis. It's propaganda.

Someone…should…probably…maybe…do…a…investigation..into…there…internet…search…history…just saying.

Only 3?

AI porn is creeping/infesting into the normal porn sites.

They're not even trying to hide it anymore

That looks like the usual bad faith "they want to fuck children" smearing. I am almost fully certain that the bill contains egregious overreach and/or is redundant to existing law because that literally always was the case when I looked behind similar tweets in the past.

Literally easiest fucking moral dillema out there in modern world.

The rest of em voted yes b/c they prefer the real stuff

Where's the rest of the pork here?
