        Because the social media giants should be held responsible for the damaging stuff they host and push through algorithms that target hate and an adapted “if it bleeds it leads” style of pushing things just to keep people enraged and engaged.

        Why do you think removing child porn, animal crushing videos, and suicide content is a bad thing?

          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.
