Yes, continuing to erode the youth vote Dems get won't matter at all.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. --- "2001 called, it wants it's message board signature back....." - aarrgus |

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/ --- "2001 called, it wants it's message board signature back....." - aarrgus |

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.
