    “The bill – endorsed by president Joe Biden…”

    Why in the world would Biden support this Heritage foundation garbage?

      He’s a granddad. We shouldn’t have granddads who can’t work a remote be president. I assume he can’t work a remote.

      This IS Biden. He’s always been a pretty bad human person. The only silver lining is that he’s been better than most recently. He’s a center-right politician just like most Democrats.

      People suggest he supports this bill which is not strictly accurate (the bill hasn’t even hit a full vote by either chamber of the legislative branch).

      Here’s where support is indicated for a bill, and Republicans are clearly doing what they always do and making a bill a race to the worst possible bill.

      We’ve invested $1 billion to help schools hire, train — and train 14,000 new mental health counselors in schools across the country. And we’re taking steps to address the harm of social media is doing to our young people. And it is doing harm. (Applause.)

      We’ve got to hold — we’ve got to hold these platforms accountable for the national experiment they’re conducting on — on our children for profit.

      Later this week, senators will debate legislation to protect kids’ privacy online, which I’ve been calling for for two years. It matters. Pass it, pass it, pass it, pass it, pass it. (Laughter.)

      I really mean it. Think about it. Do you ever get a chance to look at what your kids are looking at online?

      Folks, the actions we’re announcing today represent a real step forward to help millions of people get mental health care they need and their insurance should be — and — and the insurance should be provided — should be provided. But there’s still so much more to do.

      https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2023/07/25/remarks-by-president-biden-on-expanding-access-to-mental-health-care/

      FWIW I wouldn’t support any bill that “holds big tech accountable” for users using technology, because I think that is stupid. Still, suggesting Biden supports this specific version of a bill is beyond a stretch.

      …and my mind is stronger than a child’s…

      It’s not though. It really, really isn’t.

    I mean, at this stage you can tell that by the name.

    These deplorables love children so much that they don’t even bat an eye at using child sexual abuse as a political tool while simultaneously turning a blind eye to 300,000 children raped by clergy.

    It should be the parents’ job to regulate what kind of content their children consume on the internet, not the government’s.

    Yep exactly as we all knew.

    She wants to confine children like I was to the years of confusion and alienation I had to go through. That’s cruel. I should not have had to feel so alone and nobody else should either.

      Yeah the 1st amendment has gone out the window here. (on the other hand, why are they pushing the lgtbtq movement on kids. Kids aren’t smart at all and won’t understand the deeper meaning…)

    This is a classic GOP move. Name a bill something like “Free Americans for Internet Freedom Act” that prevents net neutrality and idiots love the name and support it. Name a bill something like “Kids Online Safety Act” as a way to censor and control information, and idiots love the name and support it

    Which only sense, trans are the most sus even within the LGBT. Its a broad category of mostly nonsense identities or simply just people unable to cope with how they are born and lamenting over it and passing on that stupidity to children. There are trans who act and blend like any other human being but most are just plain psychological disaster. The unnatural spike in identity disorder proves it.

      Listen to the facist sing

      "Take hope here

      War is elsewhere

      You were chosen

      This is Gods land

      Soon we’ll be free

      Of blot and mixture

      Seeds planted by our Forefathers hand"

      A mass of promises

      Begin to rupture

      Like the pockets Of the new world kings

      Like swollen stomachs In Appalachia

      Like the priest that fucked you as he whispered holy things

      A mass of tears have transform the stones now

      Sharpened on suffering

      And woven into the slings

      Hope lies in the rubble of this rich fortress

      Taking today what tomorrow never brings
