Of course they do, they cannot stop dissenting voices if they don’t. Bambi the Commie wouldn’t have it any other way.

Is this the same Internet czar who will have the power to “shut down the Internet” if it’s deemed beneficial to national security?

They must silence us, so this makes sense.

Silence us, and find us.

I bet soon online crypto will be illegal, and no more net anonymity.

White House to control business...

White House to control the census...

White House to control the internet...

You can bet that little Jack Boot Emanuel’s finger prints are all over this.

I have no problem with this. By the time they get it into place conservatives will either be in power for the long term or I’ll be living outside the sphere of influence of the White House.

They’ve done so well with guarding DOD secrets that they’ve decided to expand into the private sector... ((s))
