Goodbye device ownership, and the last vestiges of free speech will die with this bill as well. (www.govtrack.us)

So, OS-level age-gating is going federal, which will effectively kill your rights to device ownership and what's left of free speech and expression.

Enjoy your free speech while you still have it because this is a clear attempt to erase that right.

SOPA never died, it just went into hiding until time to reemerge, and now's that time, this is basically SOPA in a save the kids trenchcoat.

It’s worth writing your reps!! There’s usually an easy way to contact them via their website

    Speaking and educating does not work anymore. And that really only works in democracy.

    Honestly, I think there’s truth in your statement. But I also believe that every little bit helps and think it’s important to become the grit in the machine in every way possible.

    Don’t just do the bare minimum, but sending letters is something even people working multiple jobs to make ends meet have the time and financial ability to actually accomplish.

    More needs to be done for sure, people should pitch in where they can.
