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.

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.

Enjoy your larp but be safe, genuinely don’t want any more of you getting shot by ICE.
