But my parents would know about this. They're strongly anti-communist.
Oh sorry, I glossed over this post, as your links didn't work, it was very late at night, and I was drunk.
But yes, I see now that you're a minor, and the US is planning on enforcing censorship on free thinking minors. This is bad. This is very bad. And I will join you in urging our American comrades to try to do something about this.
ikr. Idk what to do.
Well, you're already being tracked through many forms as the other user pointed out. But if your worry is your parents, on a cursory glance I see nothing that would require notifying your them for engaging with "harmful" content. It mostly places the burdens on the platforms to either ban that content or you, as notifying every single child on the internet seems like a huge hassle. I could be wrong though. (Please fix your links if you can)
Now if you want some advice, you can always get some free VPN like protonVPN to a foreign country and generally avoid attaching your real life identity to your "harmful" online activities. Tor is also pretty nice too, I guess. Nothing is really 100% "safe" and you're always at some risk, but this doesn't seem like the end of the world for your individual case.
The bill is still the usual 4-letter acronym rubbish the USA has been peddling to wreck the internet since it went mainstream. Somebody should revoke their internet license, "Reverse Great Firewall" style.
The NSA considers readers of the Linux Journal as extremists. 🤡
Yeah I think the SESTA and FOSTA shit went down the same way, written up by the usual clueless skeletons in DC and only ended up pissing off a fuckton of internet users while accomplishing nothing. I'm not in the targeted demographic for this latest turn of the surveillance vice but I hope for you and everyone affected that it gets shot down in flames.
btw you need to edit your links, the target URL for all of them is currently the post itself.
The explanations in several of your links are confusing and don't seem to really get to the issue. I mean they mention it but not the how the bill might cause the issue.
