So asking for an I.D. to vote is onerous and too hard a burden but demanding it to use the internet or a smart phone is just "protecting kids"?
Since when do Democrats care about kids? They murder them in the womb. They support letting sex traffickers shlep them around the country. They have fought every privacy attempt the Republicans have ever proposed. They want pedophiles teaching them in our schools. They want men wearing dresses in their locker rooms and bathrooms. They were happy with illegal aliens stealing babies' social security numbers and ruining their nascent credit.
But now we are supposed to believe they want to keep our kids safe by forcing them to be i.d.'d to tech companies (who will either data mine them or sell their data or get hacked and LOSE it) and of course more disturbingly to be easily followed by the government. The government will wind up with this data in the end.
And they dare call it the "Parents Decide Act". Funny; they don't want parents to decide when it's about abortions, or contraception, or transitioning genders. But now it's all about the kids!
And while delineating the many things this bill will require the last I find most disturbing:
A trusted multi-platform standard that bans children from accessing what the government labels "harmful” or "explicit” content on any device made by any OEM on any software platform. On the surface, this can include adult content and conversations with AI chatbots, although "harmful” or "hateful” speech has taken on different meanings to the left over the years, usually to describe speech that doesn’t align with their views.
You know wahat that means; the government will set standards for what is "harmful" or "explicit" and that will mean any criticisms of lettist ideology. Blogs like this one will be "disappeared" and young people will not be able to access it.
This is clearly an attempt to backdoor government censorship.
The Left only wins when they ensure ignorance. Their ideas cannot win in a fair competition. This is just more of the same and I hope the Republicans have the good sense to kill this bill.
