Orwell was an optimist. The more I read about this bill the less I like it.

More than anything, the Constitution does not grant the government power to do any of this. Not that people care about the Constitution, but the trend itself is scary anyways. Many states are moving in the same trend to position themselves against the people.

S.1748 - Kids Online Safety Act


We all know how this works. If the cry is “its for the children!” that means we’re really going to be punished for it in a very short period of time.

Oh noes. I’ll have to stay offline. Whatever shall I do? 😂👍. I tried to set up a VA medical telecom yesterday and needed help from the geeks. The youngster was surprised when he asked me what browser I used and Google and Microsoft edge never came to mind. In order for the video on to work I have to use one of them. LOL! Better than driving to Palo Alto though. Then back to Brave. And writing checks and mailing payments.

The most powerful political pamphlet ever written - Common Sense - was published anonymously.

Kiddies can be given simple cellphones.

As for online, parents in theory could subscribe to a censoring service.

Correct. Pornography should be illegal, and its internet distributors dealt with harshly. This would solve the problem. The profits involved in the selling of souls is however too great, so it will continue. Meanwhile, individual rights to actually Free Speech and Privacy will evaporate, and nobody will even notice or care.
