Members of Congress have mounted a major threat to your freedom of speech and privacy online. Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) recently introduced a bill that would undermine key protections for Internet speech in U.S. law. It would also expose providers of the private messaging services we all rely on to serious legal risk, potentially forcing them to undermine their tools’ security.

basically they (the gov) want to strip section 230, bake in back door access to end-to-end encryption and force companies to scan data, even encrypted, that is stored on their systems to find what they are looking for. If the companies do not, then they can be sued.

Anyone wanting anything to do with persons / parties wanting to go there are just insane.
I would personally rather have Abdul Bin falaffel slit my throat with a spoon.

This is why I don’t associate myself with either side. I’m sure they’re spinning this as a means to protect us against a potential threat.:roll: All they really want is more & more control.

The blue team and the red team are all for themselves. Citizens don't matter nor do our rights. I wonder if another civil war will ever happen. The problem now is that citizens are severely outgunned by the government which is exactly what the forefathers were trying to prevent.
