    Gavin lost me when he promoted the age verification law. “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” I can see it being implemented in ways that would negate the government needing a warrant to find the identity of someone voicing an opinion the administration doesn’t like. Additionally, imagine how disruptive it is to have a blanket ban from Google or Microsoft for whatever reason. Now expand that so that one agency can lock you out of pretty much everything.

    Inversely a customer opt-in by parents to restrict their own internet connections access is targeted and empowers parents into deciding what they let their children access. Reality is that the teenagers will figure out a way around it, but that is true of a national age verification system.

    Talk about not being able to read the room. It’s so funny that this idiot actually had a shot at the presidency, for half a second…and then just tossed it straight out the window.

    It’s hard to code more fake than JD Vance, but Newsom for president might surprise me I feel.

    well, results of poor electoral system are finally materializing in full: there are no more votes “for”, every vote is “against” and two parties controlling the agenda, getting away with every shit they pull 'cause electorate will vote against the other guy.

    Democrats could run a literal “I will shit in your mouth” platform and liberals will be on here defending them. I can’t figure out which one of stupidity, fear, or outright malice (I got mine) it is.
