OK so this is meant for revenge porn / stolen photos... but it's written so broadly that it will affect basically any online speech. Great.

Call it what it is: a censorship law. Apparently the climate of fear that makes people self-censor wasn’t enough.
Watch for a LOT of ‘extreme left’ opinions get taken down and their authors imprisoned.
It won't stop with journalists and authors. They'll be looking in Facebook posts, Reddit comments, Twitter threads, Instagram, etc. And random citizens are going to start disappearing.
They'll want people to know it can happen to anyone, not just the most visible or high profile critics.
And darlen AOC so called progressive voted for this shit.
Politicians are still too afraid of optics, they don't want to be on record as voting against taking down revenge porn. Too many of these bills are written with a good-sounding premise but the details are where they get you.
Any chance courts can stop this bill for being unconstitutional.
Can, probably yes, will, probably no
While this is bullshit, we should be able to weaponize it right back at them - any lies the administration spews (which let’s face it, that’s everything) needs to be reported relentlessly.
Make them feel it!
Reported to who? The people telling the lies?
The article mentioned requiring a reporting mechanism which must be resolved within 48 hours. Because of the impracticality of the timeframe it went on to assume that anything reported would just be removed.
Yeah that will only be true for the rich and powerful. Ever go to the police as a poor for stalking?
The same way that Facebook can say "no" when you ask them to stop training AI on your data they will just send it to an automated not that will find no issue and deny the takedown but for those that pay I'm sure it will be very effective.
This reminds me of the DNC super donor Ed Buck who would lure in gay black men and kill them by injecting meth into them while raping them.
He managed to do it for years and wasn't until one of the victims survived to be able talk about it that he was sentenced as with every previous body it was said it was a private issue and a sad loss of a friend.
Photos managed to get shared of his racist, rape, death den helping sway the public.
Ed Buck would have loved this bill and its ability to actively scrub his image further.
If it feels like monsters would like something I don't want it.
The democrats pushed this through for the same reason they've pushed other bills to censor the internet, using piracy or CSAM as excuses. They aren't really trying to protect anyone, they want and need control over the population as much as the republicans do, so that they can maintain the cash flow from corporations that own them. So many people still look at the democrats as an opposition party to the fascists, but that isn't true at all. They work together because they're two sides of the same party. The only thing they're truly concerned with protecting is their own money and power.
Both the democrats and republicans are profoundly evil.
rumor has it that AOC voted for this
Not a rumor, only 2 house members voted against (both republican).
mfw we can pass a bipartisan spy law no problem but a bipartisan daylight savings law is still too hard.
They all did, it was 409 vs 2, with 22 not voting:

And ironically the only two Nays came from Republicans.
She did. She ‘objected to some of the wording’ but jumped in line like a good little puppet.
censorship is bipartisan, they just want to censor different things
Why the fuck did all the democrats vote Yes for this
Fascism is an integration of government and corporations. Democrats are officially just the other side of the coin after this. 100% one party in the country. The longer any politician fights under the banner of Republican or Democrat the longer they want this system to continue.
So just assume they voted yes since only 2 republicans voted against including the Democrats
“Flood the zone” benefits both parties when it comes to power grab shit like this. This barely made headlines until it was already passed and it’s too late.
Wait, US Congress still exists? Certainly wouldn't know it based on how the nation has been governed for the past 4 months.
Good news, now we can report all those christians online that won't shut the fuck up!!
American decline is happening at a much faster pace than I anticipated.
If you don't own a gun, now is the time.
I want off this ride
