Expanding the power of the state is wrong
Agreed. You think you live in a free country... then they take your myspace.
In general, of course, yes, and this law is not the answer.
But, the world has changed. Congress has done nothing because it is changing the way they want it to. China’s internet is locked down. Ours is wide open. Why? Because China owns our Congress.
These “companies” all exist in a new paradigm. You are not a “customer”. You are a product. Information about you - your privacy is for sale. Sale takes on a non-monetary meaning when a dictatorship like Red China is involved.
So, our government IS expanding. It is growing to be more like China’s government. We sit by and watch TikTok videos and think we’re getting something for “free”. We COULD demand that our government do its job and protect our rights.
This bill is a bandaid. The patient is bleeding out.
AGREED
