The members of Congress who vote for this bill should remember—they do not, and will not, control who will be in charge of punishing bad internet speech. The Federal Trade Commission, majority-controlled by the President’s party, will be able to decide what kind of content “harms” minors, then investigate or file lawsuits against websites that host that content.

Oh, fuck. I get the Republicans voting for it, but what the fuck is wrong with the Democrats? Bernie voted yes on this thing!

Its almost as if even the better party of the two still has its own agenda that its trying to fulfill.

One that isn't necessarily in our best interests.

Of course there is a worse side of the coin but you gotta love how any time it is something that really fucks the people good (especially about privacy) they all suddenly magically agree and can pass it in moments.

The fact that even the most progressive one out of the bunch who's supposed to be the way forward and should've had that nomination last time even voted yes on it should jolt everyone awake. But it will not.

We were warned about a two party system.
