Why do they keep introducing anti-privacy laws under "child protection"? Do they think people forgot that they did the same thing just a year ago?
Also "controversial topcis" my ass. They realized internet isn't making kids apolitical on its own so they decided to force it.
It is always Senator Blumethal. He is always the sponsor and usually originator of these repeat bills to destroy the internet.
Look at his bribes on Open Secrets and it makes more sense. His top contributors are: 1.) The legal industry 2.) individuals donating large amounts who just so happen to be associated with legal entities which make money by consulting large organizations on internet regulation compliance and also criminal defense.
We need to ban bribery, but since that won’t happen we need people to get the ball rolling by leaking all the private internet data for these bad actors like Blumenthal. Do what John Oliver threatened to do and release all the legal-yet-semi-obscure information that they refuse to codify legal protections for. I’m sure this hit dog is hollering for a reason.
Because “child protection” is a really convenient excuse that’s near impossible to argue against. Nobody wants to be seen as the one making kids “less safe”
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
