Fact: Any time a bill has a name about protecting children, it's never actually about protecting children.

Also, what do the big tech companies have to gain by supporting this bill? They're typically opposed to anything that can open them up to litigation.

Same with freedom/patriotism. Or really anything that's meant to ekove a specific type of emotion.

I also narrow my eyes whenever I see the word "family" now.
