Stupid mother fuckers.
Anyone old enough to remember knows - politicians have been stupid and reactionary about public access to the internet from its earliest days.
Section 230 of the DMCA is probably the only reason social media as we know it was able to emerge past infancy. (You could argue about whether we might want to put that cat back in the bag, but the earliest discussion forums, leading to sites like Lemmy and Reddit, also could not have existed as we all knew them.)
And frankly, this looks like another part of the march to oligarchy to me. When the only social media sites that can exist are those with owners that have big enough pockets to hire enough people to become responsible for what users post and aggressively control it… (or, shudder what if the end goal is literally nationalized social media)
I feel like the whole point is to shut down the fediverse and similar alternatives to the capitalist cage.

This is what “vote blue no matter who” gets you: Trump.
It’s somehow worse than the title suggests. People should read the article. I am getting sick of saying that, but each awful thing being done recently has so many implications that just can’t fit in a title.
And the linked Bluesky post.
