The members of Congress who vote for this bill should remember—they do not, and will not, control who will be in charge of punishing bad internet speech. The Federal Trade Commission, majority-controlled by the President’s party, will be able to decide what kind of content “harms” minors, then investigate or file lawsuits against websites that host that content.
Oh, fuck. I get the Republicans voting for it, but what the fuck is wrong with the Democrats? Bernie voted yes on this thing!
I think with most Dems (including Bernie) it’s a case of terminal being old and not understanding what they’re doing. Basically every single internet bill is written by corporate lobbyists and handed off to be rubber stamped.
