    This is violently anti-intellectual freedom.

    Factual information doesn’t “harm children.” If your kid isn’t ready to learn about the world, it’s your job to do some parenting.

    The fact that these AGs won’t be using a bill like this to remove right wing propaganda from the internet tells you this is just a censorship tool, at best.
