Hey, trying to explain Online Censorship to people who arent in the nsfw scene or who arent as online as you are, and need some help?

This video is actually a really great primer on the current situation, and why we have to develop an absolutist stance on free speech for EVERYONE's sake.

Decided to do some edits to the script for US Politicians.

I've currently removed the Sammy Law(not as popular yet), the ACPA(only a draft), and the H.R.5300(no relevance and neutered, but keep an eye on it) to help narrow the scope of importance.
