Internet service will become unavailable in Iowa if that passes. Too much hassle for the tiny profits.

Look, I'm not saying Republicans aren't awful, but this one probably has zero chance of actually going through. Courts have already started to block the social media ban, there's no way this will become law.

We still need to pay attention to legislation like this because they're showing us their endgame for the internet, complete loss of anonymity and total control of all information.

it won't even work, as I can almost guarantee the software they'll pick to try this will be the lowest bidder tier garbage that can be easily bypassed. that's the one silver lining in all this is that they're really bad it.

This was never going to stop with porn sites or social media sites or healthcare or libraries or LGBTQ+ content. They're advocating to strip internet communication of anonymity. Papers please at every stop.
And that's without getting into the nonsense over obscenity.

This is actually a pre-culture war delirium conservative take, but if you live and work and pay taxes in the US, you actually direct and employ every office holder and funding allocation that Would Best Serve You & Your Neighbors. Anti-Trump essence comes from goofy oldhead conservative vet dads tbh

There is no singularly perfect place to start, so I feel that - purely through a reform lens - a series of legislative and [contextually legitimate] executive brooms have to sweep away AIPAC, Citizens United, KOSA, active "Patriot Act" foundations and many, many more Within 90 Days
