  Young people criticized Israel and are having their free speech taken away. That’d what’s going on. We must help them get around these fascist laws

  Techdirt has been killing it since they decided to start covering politics.

  So this bit here:

  Populate a public list of other users with whom such user shares a social connection within such service or application

  seems like the easiest way to circumvent this law, with the least effort. Just hide connections for users in VA, and now you’re not a social media site.

  Worst thing about this is it stops at “non-adults”, and puts the burden in individual services(which would be un-workable, yes) rather than ISPs(which have the means). God forbid we do anything to help society as a whole.

      Might as well call peak usage rates for electricity “fashy shit”. Excessive social media usage helps no-one.

  We only elect the best here in the USA. Hey, VA, thanks for taking the heat off our idiots here in AR. We are collectively stupid here in the US south. We need a fresh wave of Darwinism down here to wash out the stupid.

  The unworkability is a feature, not a bug.
