Today the U.S. House of Representatives passed the TAKE IT DOWN Act, giving the powerful a dangerous new route to manipulate platforms into removing lawful speech that they simply don’t like. President Trump himself has said that he would use the law to censor his critics. The bill passed the Senate in February, and it now heads to the president’s desk.
Why the fuck did all the democrats vote Yes for this
Because they’d like to use it too.
Because the mainstream democrats (the corpocentrists, mostly) believe that the tools of fascism and oppression are perfectly fine to keep around as long as they’re wielded by enlightened leadership. All you have to do is simply never lose an election ever. Nbd. Why do they want to keep the tools of fascism around? Uh… (Hurriedly stuffing cash in pockets) Safety, terrorists or child molesters or something, look don’t worry about it.
Fascism is an integration of government and corporations. Democrats are officially just the other side of the coin after this. 100% one party in the country. The longer any politician fights under the banner of Republican or Democrat the longer they want this system to continue.
I’m so done with them. Primary all of them.
I think because the sentiment of the bill is good.
The problem is on the required action and the broad definition of what a “covered platform” is.
