Public opinion turned against Israel so we’re seeing a full court institutional coup. ID requirements for internet usage, merger of U.S. and Israeli military. The committee to protect journalists declaring that Lebanese and Palestinians no longer count as journalists etc
Notice when you want an abortion the fetus is a person but when we talk about immigration, actual children are called offspring.
Words matter. They are saying the Nazi shit out loud. Listen to them.
The ONLY reason the government wants your cars to have kill switches and your money to be digital is so they can shut them both down if you step out of line.
Your government has no interest in protecting your assets. They only have an interest in robbing you of them.
An online group called "Operation Flockout" is targeting Flock cameras nationwide
Their goal is to eradicate them 90% by the end of summer and 100% by the end of the year
I’m all for child safety. I’m also all for parenting, supervising, and protecting kids – to include the two minors of my own. This bill – HR 7757 - under the guise of “kids’ safety,” is just more government creating a vehicle for mass surveillance – ultimately leading to a digital surveillance state that leads to suppression of privacy, free speech, and punitive action against dissenting views - all under the guise of child safety. This is the first phase. Pretty soon, everything you do will be tracked – and judged – by the government. All I hear about right now are complaints and concerns on this issue; my constituents are all for safety and protection; what they don’t support are large scale ID databases, Central Bank Digital Currency, data centers, warrantless surveillance, camera surveillance, kill switches in cars, etc. There’s too much government in our lives and too many breaches into our privacy.
BTW – check out the “UK Online Safety Act,” passed a year ago this month in Great Britain, aimed at “keeping children from accessing adult content.” Well, surprise: the UK’s now using it for “age verification requirements” for adults (who must upload their ID / do a facial scan) to use any social media. Worse yet, now the UK is cracking down on any dissenting views; in this case, IT apparently doesn’t like citizens’ criticism about Islamic migration overwhelming the country. Yes, they imprison people for political dissent there…
Our government ultimately will be able to attack dissenters and quash dissent. Goodbye, First Amendment.
I was a “NO” vote on this last night.
"To compensate for their small numbers, the Gestapo relied heavily on denunciations, tips and reports sent in by ordinary citizens."
These people are truly evil pieces of shit. You can't change my mind.
@mattvanswol Voters: We don't want flock cameras. We don't want big data harvesting absolutely every aspect of our lives.
Politicians: Too bad.
Politician: There's no sense in being destructive to get your point across.
This section you see is from the (KIDS ACT) ⬅️
It shows you the REAL INTENTION on page 110. 🚨
First this ENTIRE bill is a wolf in sheep's clothing🚨 - it uses children's safety as a vehicle to expand government control over the internet, normalize surveillance and verification systems, and create a regulatory framework that can be expanded to adults later.⚠️
One section that LIFTS the MASK is page 110 🎭 where they RESTRICTED DC as ONLY place where you can CONSTITUTIONALLY CHALLENGE this SURVEILLANCE court IN COURT ‼️
In the jurisdiction provision (Section 702)
IF this bill were truly about protecting children, why would you need to concentrate all constitutional challenges in one court?
It TELLS you this is about controlling the legal narrative and preventing scattered rulings that might strike down provisions.⚠️⚠️

Deeper look there are TONS of CONTRADICTIONS 🚨🚨
The bill says it does not require age verification in three separate places:
• Page 38, Section 220: "Nothing in this subtitle may be construed to require the provider of a covered platform to implement an age gating or age verification functionality"
• Page 99, Section 602(f): Same language for COPPA 2.0
• Page 13, Section 103(f): "Nothing in this section may be construed to require the submission of government-issued identification"
But every single protection in the bill is triggered by one phrase: when a platform "knows" a user is a minor. The "knows" standard is defined as "know or should have known" on pages 17, 40, 45, and 79.⚠️
This creates an impossible trap:🚨
1. If a platform does NOT verify age, it "should have known" minors were present and faces liability for failing to provide protections
2. If a platform DOES verify age, it collects age data on every user, which creates privacy risks and potential liability
The bill says "you don't have to verify age" while simultaneously making it impossible to comply without verifying age. This is not a contradiction. This is the design.
The bill uses children's safety as the vehicle to normalize age verification across the entire internet. Once age verification infrastructure exists for minors, it exists for everyone. The system built to check if you are 16 will be the same system used to check if you are 21, 35, or a registered voter.⚠️🚨🚨🚨

JURISDICTION SHELL GAME 🚨
Page 107, Section 702: "The United States District Court for the District of Columbia shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any challenge to the constitutionality of this Act or the constitutionality of any action, finding, or determination under this Act."
One court. All challenges. No exceptions.
This means:
• A company in California cannot challenge in the Ninth Circuit
• A civil liberties group in New York cannot challenge in the Second Circuit
• Every constitutional challenge must go to the same DC court that routinely handles federal government cases
This is designed to concentrate legal challenges in a venue favorable to the government and prevent multiple circuit courts from issuing injunctions against the law. If the DC court upholds the law once, it becomes extremely difficult to challenge elsewhere.🚨🚨

THE ADVERTISING MEASUREMENT LOOPHOLE🚨🚨
Page 39, Section 233(b): "Nothing in this subtitle may be construed to limit the processing of personal information solely for measuring or reporting advertising or content performance, reach, or frequency, including through an independent measurement."
➡️⚠️🚨The "Stop Profiling Youth and Kids Act" does not stop profiling for advertising measurement. It only stops "market research." Platforms can still process minor's personal information for advertising performance metrics. This is the commercial exploitation pathway left open while the privacy provisions are presented as protections. 😆

Parents can block “dangerous” apps and sites in 2 minutes with effective parental controls.
If they do, the government can't mandate identity verification for mass surveillance. Using kids like this is disgusting.
Tech experts see you, Jake.
@BasedMikeLee We’re going to need you to go away & quit trying to screw this country up. Maybe you could show us what a tough guy you are by swimming across the Atlantic.
