mf, i just don't want british glowies in my dms which is what this bill basically is, even if it's been "paused". also, most of that shit is already illegal here, so cope.
i know you're just here to instigate so don't bother replying
Jesus, so dramatic.
I just have a different opinion than you and don’t feel this is as big a deal as the hyperbole makes it sound, while also doing great good to help the internet and the kids that have to grow up alongside it.
We already know the kind of damage the exposure to this sort of content can cause to a developing mind, and if the internet is going to be around forever, then we absolutely SHOULD be doing stuff like this just to hold the tech players accountable.
You can still use your precious DMs encrypted in other places my guy, even Signal thinks it’s negotiable, so calm your tits.
