sturmblast,

it has nothing to do with protecting children and everything to do with destroying privacy

Natha,

Isn’t it something that China has been doing for a while? In their version, it’s called ‘spreading positive energy’.

jsnc,

It’s almost like everything the US said about China was just a projection of their own insecurities.

It might get to a point where China actually is relatively more liberating than “stable democracies” in internet access.

Isn't this also the bill that could screw up encryption too?

Maybe the Internet was a mistake ?

Maybe leaving the trees was a mistake.

viliam,

Fine, so who will be judging if there’s a depressive content on the internet, a psychologist? Also how about non-US sites, will they be banned or something?

Culturally we’re going back to the Middle Ages…

Specifically the Dark Ages.

Let’s use it against the government, they want to “care” about kids and steer them away from depression and anxiety? How about stop making the world suck for them. Because you can white wash any news report online about bad things happening, but it won’t mean the practice has stopped.

Why old men are so obsessed with kids? Are they pedo or something?

It’s never about kids. If they gave half a fuck about kids, we’d have free school lunches and teachers would be paid a fair salary.

So long as the internet is around to distribute fact-checks and officer-involved homicide videos they have no plausible lies by which the 80% of us in poverty or precarity should tolerate the abuse of plutocrats and capitalists.

So this is a first amendment issue: it’s about suppression of political speech. It always was 🌍 👩‍🚀 🔫 👨‍🚀 🌑

T156,

They’re a convenient scapegoat. You can accuse the other side of not caring about/endangering children for political points, and children don’t have politically-relevant opinions, or votes, so you’re never going to have children speaking up and going “that’s not correct”, or protesting against you for a law you’ve passed. If they do end up protesting, you can point fingers at the parents and say that they’re indoctrinating the children.

WhyDoesntThisThingWork,

This doesn’t seem different from what many if not most major platforms are already doing voluntarily. Just replace the word “depressing” with the word “toxic” and suddenly everyone will support this.

woah no way

in other news, every sixty seconds in Africa, a minute passes.

ProfessorZhu,

Why take a principled stand against those who are pushing this when you can just say “government” and leave everyone thinking this is a bipartisan problem?

Because it is a bipartisan problem.

throwing_handles,

Hear me out, we have to protect our kids from the dirty jews, let’s make concentration camps to save our PRECIOUS LITTLE KIDS!!

Diplomjodler,

This headline could have been written 20 years ago.

iMastari,

Protect kids from guns would be better.

EnderWi99in,

Jack O'Neil's son would still be alive today if he didn't get a hold of his father's gun. But then we wouldn't have Stargate. It's sort of a toss up to me.
