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.

Yeah, but if we keep advocating for violent revolution maybe someone else will do it for us so we can have better lives!

For some of us we are too injured and broken to do much more then hope those who are of sound body and able to resist will do so.

Even an injured person can man a radio. Can produce leaflets, can distribute whistles, can send food and supplies.

Start watching resistance stories. Read books like full spectrum resistance.

You are not alone You are not powerless You do not have to feel defeated…that’s what they want.

I hope they bring some vibe coded, 3d-printed anti-air defense missiles with them!
