It's not the I/P issue anymore.

It's the police violence that's going to turn young voters off.

And make it seem like the country is falling apart.
The police are right-wing, and police violence would get MUCH worse in a second Trump presidency.

The Supreme Court in 1997 unanimously invalidated provisions of a federal law intended to protect minors from indecent material online because it also imposed First Amendment burdens on adults. But in reviewing the Texas law, the 5th Circuit relied instead on a 1968 precedent in which the Supreme Court let stand a New York law barring the distribution of obscene material to minors.

Huh, I didn't know a previous SC already more or less ruled on this.
Can't they use the 1997 ruling to not enforce this law?

jfc you people

"That thing you like, Biden got rid of it"
"oh, why would I vote for that asshole?"
Because Biden is caught in a Catch 22 due to this being a poison pill in an Ukraine aid bill. If he vetoes it, Ukraine loses aid and he'll get criticized for that, and if he signs it, he'll get criticized by the Youth for the Tiktok ban that was inserted into it by some asshole House member.

Unless they send an email to opt-out of the Forced Arbitration Clause before May 15th, as the link describes. Apparently, the reason this is being implemented is due to a Kiwi Farms spy site scraping Discord en masse and selling access to some users' server messages and activity: https://www.404media.co/spy-site-selling-discord-messages-linked-to-kiwi-farms/

I used to think threatening to leave the country was a bit silly. But if our government is so dumb as to pass a law that will basically give us ZERO way to protect ourselves from ID theft. I'd finally join those saying that.

Not to mention just completely trampling over our rights. Every single website under the sun could in THEORY show something "offensive". So it's ID use for all of them. Theres no fucking way I am doing that.

I don't even give my SSN for the doctor or any of that shit. You don't fucking need it.
The House version of it made it clear that the restrictions won't be as harsh for smaller websites, but yeah.
