HoR Republicans beat Dems in this race to the bottom

Mar 14, 2024, 5:45 PM

Bingo.

Also, this HoR bill represents one case where Democrats had more smart votes than Republicans. Voting against this bill:

50 Democrats
15 Republicans.

In a race to the bottom, the Republicans won this one.

Thomas Massie (R - Kentucky) is among the few congressional representatives that sometimes reads carefully and thinks things through. Massie warns of how this bill gives the President the power to decide what social media outlet gets to be censored, with that justification for censorship being whatever arbitrary definition that the President decides is a security concern.

(?). Who wants Biden, or Trump, or RFK, Jr, or Big Mike, or Jessie Ventura to, in effect, be given the power to arbitrarily decide what social media company is ‘too dangerous’ to be allowed to have their subscribers post messages / content? What a horrible idea.

(*). For parents who worry that their kids will be unduly influenced by ‘subversive’ social media, I’ve got the solution: Take their smart phones away, and give them burner phones instead. Let them call home if they need help.

You people that don't care or don't know are simply ignorant. You don't know what you don't know, and couldn't understand it if someone 'splained it to you.

When you are China with 100% control over the population, industry, information flow, food, water, military R&D, blah blah blah (which in itself is out of the realm of understanding if you grew up in the free world) you can get a lot done. You can develop strategies that work over decades and generations instead of days and weeks.

As someone who has [insert chit here that I can't say] I can say with confidence China is very advanced in a lot of different areas you have never considered. And some of the areas are not necessarily high-tech - they are very good at leveraging what they have and making new ways to accomplish their goals.

I find X to be far more divisive than TikTok.

I don't disagree

You didn't see my name in the credits for "The Martian"? (based on a true story)***

That's the rub, I don't trust that our govt. won't end up abusing this
