More “for the children” invasive bullshit. Less privacy and more government intrusion is not what voters want out of bipartisanship.

I’m somewhat heartened by what happened with SOPA, but the ongoing attempts to remove constitutional protections “because it’s the internet” are not a sign that things are going in the right direction.

    Having had to work in removing CSAM from a hosting provider, it just feels extra insulting when idiots say things are “for the kids”. Between that, and the likelihood of all these companies holding your driver license and subsequently leaking it online in a hack, I just can’t wrap my head around it on any level.

    That said, I suspect it’s untenable to apply this to smaller orgs like the fediverse anyway so I don’t see the rubber hitting the road over here.
