    Klobuchar will just use this as another rallying cry to tear down Section 230 and make the internet even worse. You can read it yourself, but earlier this year she tried to use a 19 year old ODing on fentanyl he bought off Snapchat as a reason to “… get rid of or reform section 230 …”

    Not sure how that’s going to stop people from ODing on adulterated narcotics, but maybe supporting harm reduction and mental health services would be a better use of my tax payer money.

    Hard to imagine how they’re going to take down deepfakes without limiting freedom of information or how they will prove who made the content.

      Similarly, libs hated guns so much, they let the fucking COPS have the right to arbitrarily deny you a gun permit* under so called “may issue” laws.

      Yea no fuck that lol. They would just let white people have guns and non-whites seeking a gun for self-defence will be denied because “they look suspicious”

      You can never trust the police. Arm yourselved, form a well-regulated militia to protect your community.

      *“may issue” laws were in effect in many Democratic jurisdictions until 2022, when, ironically, the fascists on the supreme court struck them down.

    I think this is a good thing. Now there’s plausible deniability for anything you might have said in the past that surfaces - that’s just a deepfake! Don’t cancel me, it’s not real.

        We’ve got a world “leader” who pioneered the end of consequences and showed that easily proven facts weren’t worth the bits they were sent over the internet with, so that ship has already sailed.

        Enjoy the freedom that comes with never having to answer for your crimes. Kick a puppy. Call someone a slur. Steal a game ball from a kid at the world series.

      She has a well earned reputation of sounding in private just like in the video . I’m sure the video is not her, but it was really accurate in tone; which is why it’s getting traction
