So, these pricks aren’t even hiding their intentions now, literally naming a new censorship bill, ‘SOPA,’ thinking people forgot about that failed 2012 bill that would’ve destroyed the web as we know it had it passed.

    They’re getting ready for civil unrest because they see a Great Depression on the horizon. Thank Trump and the Iran war for that. It’s going to take years for them to get global oil production back up and in the meantime they have no answer to a large population under increasing economic strain.

      The oligarchs want a recession, they can buy up assets on the cheap. And they are flush with cash, the only thing they are missing is lower interest rates which are incoming with the new fed cuckold chairman.

      Fuck trump, but we’ve been heading for a global depression long before the recent events with Iran. The fiat house of cards is toppling over and anyone holding USD reserves (pretty much all Western countries) will feel a massive hit. Venezuela and the attempted taking over Iran’s oil were the last resorts to prop up the Petrodollar before complete collapse. The US is in its final days as the neo-Rome.

      No, we better not get oil production back up. It’s time to move on to renewables

    To prevent the exploSive growth of child predators on certain digital platforms by defaulting to certain privacy and security settings for child users

    OK, that capital S isn’t a big mistake, but can’t they properly proofread their shit? It seems telling of how thought through it is - not.

    Also, this is a typical gish gallop argument: you need to first establish the “explosive” growth argument before moving on. I doubt it.

      The way to stop the explosive growth of children predators is to stop electing them and imprison. The current regime emboldens them.
