      the bill is intentionally vague. it’s left up to state attorneys general to decide what that means and it requires websites to collect id data to verify age. several conservative politicians have bragged that they’re going to use this bill to go after online queer communities. and the Biden admin and DNC generally support the bill so it’s likely to pass.

      The “Think of the Children!” excuse has been used by homophobes as an excuse to persecute them as long as there have been homophobes.

          Exactly. Anytime the US gov tries to announce that they are doing something to “protect the children” 9/10 times it’s just an excuse to persecute or punish non cis-white people.
