Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.

We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

I really hope the attractive lady gets listened to, because she does have valid points. But the laws do need to be reformatted from scratch. There's no going around it, age verification needs to be done at the ISP level, ie; no internet or media made of any kind of people under the age of 18.

Is Trump preparing to nuke Iran? STOP HIM!
Was Khamenei terminally ill and days from death when Trump assassinated him, turning him into a martyr?
Why are military hospitals diverting? How many US casualties? They don't do that for "6".

The point of this is both to be able to individually track us and to restrict young people's ability to get information from anything other than... Approved sources.

Isn't it funny how all this started being pushed hard right after October 7th 2023? That's so weird.

Between ICE murdering unarmed people in the streets and the military following illegal orders to kill Venezuelan fishermen and carpet bomb Iranian schools; I really don't want the US gov to have all of my data and information. The GOP enjoys killing people way too much.

100%. The GOP see kids is as shields, as excuses, as tools to be manipulated for personal/party gain.
They don't care about kids. If they did, they wouldn't have passed the bigbullshitbill that strips healthcare and food from millions of children.
How stupid they must think we are.

When has our government done anything to protect our children?
Gun control?
SNAP/Medicaid cuts?
Destruction of the Department of Education?
Laws being passed in states making it legal for teenagers to work 3rd shifts at factories?
THE EPSTEIN FILES???
Our government uses children as props.

Companies have put a $ value on our data. How about you put a $ value on our privacy. Consider requiring small ($0.01) payment to private individuals for every data point gathered? Include a blanket opt-out provision, and I think many would be happy. Seems fair to me.

There is nothing wrong with age verification per se, in fact it may be important. But it has to be done safely— the EU has already developed a recommendation for how it can be done, here: digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/eu-age-verification

Requiring it of computer operating systems is BS. That's what these [usual long string of swear words] want. Brought to us by the same psychopaths that turned our home security systems and appliances into tools of the surveillance state.

Dick Con, as I refer to him, the accountant needs to be questioned about the 4000 transactions trump sent to Epstein over 20 years that amounted to $1.1 billion and given that information, that’s 200 transactions a year over 20 years at an average amount of $250,000.00 per payment!

We need someone to force ICE agents for DNA testing at the detention centers so that they can be prosecuted for the rape and pregnancies of the minor detainees. Why is no one outraged! We shouldn't fund ICE so they can continue to rape in these facilities!!!!! Do something.

Republicans don't want to raise their kids. Plain and simple. They warn about the "nanny state", then do the most to create it just so long as it benefits the wealthy people they worship. Meanwhile, those wealthy people don't even consider them human.
