      Let’s hope it passes this time. The “controversy” seems to be the typical, forced nonsense. It’d be nothing but a win for children’s privacy and mental health.

        I will trust the experienced lawyers and civil rights advocates at the ACLU, thanks. Nothing about this bill is good for children, it is a direct attempt to allow government to exert control over online spaces’ content, as well as de-anonymize internet users. Both of those are bad, including for kids.

          The ACLU is a freaking joke, not sure why you’d trust them. They’re literally making up excuses to try to prevent this from passing. Makes you wonder about their reasoning.
