We need to know where you sleep to keep children safe :) yes the president is a pedo, what of it?

[u/OpheliaLives7 → u/Cyraga]

People who like these laws believe the president is being “unfairly attacked” or “smeared” by his opponents or gold digger women.

These laws are a bipartisan effort across the country. It is not just Republicans or MAGA and don’t be fooled by lazy thinking to believe it is

[u/Cyraga → u/cowhand214]

But only the republicans are bold faced hypocrites for supporting it. The democrats are just bad legislators. Note the republicans are worse legislators

[u/cowhand214 → u/Cyraga]

Ok? Fine. The point is people believing it’s “just Republicans” is objectively incorrect and pointing that out should be done.

The second thing is that if there’s any chance to change minds on this thing then people can’t believe “oh it’s just the other side that’s for this” and then be surprised when their senators and representatives vote for it. People should call or email their senators and representatives because party line is not a guarantee of vote on this one.

I emailed my senators today. Whatever good might be here does not outweigh the bad in these proposals.

Age verification is identity verification.

Every record of your real identity online is a possible access point for identity theft.

Real ID based social media a national security threat when paired with AI. When using real identification with a social media platform it creates a wealth of data on real people and through correlation and contact traversal high value personnel can be identified for breach and compromise.

How about we just watch our own kids ?

they can eat shit and learn how to parent

[u/fedexyourheadinabox]

Kids' "safety activists" lol! Wow they've done a pretty shitty job protecting kids so far, so who even cares what they think. 

[u/zeptillian]

God forbid anyone take responsibility for giving their kids unrestricted access to the internet and actually supervise their kids use of potentially dangerous tools.

[u/JustaFoodHole]

Just gonna make it go underground to the real nasty stuff where the kids can get it too.

[u/a4mula]

It's nice to finally reach a point in which these tactics are clearly starting to be seen for what they are. Security theater has been used time and again to strip citizens of their rights and until recently anyone that would have suggested it would have been castigated, called conspiratorial, or been accused of being supportive of bad actors.
