My fellow activist Blake claims it'll be a 17 person majority, which is worrying, but also dooms that it'd destroy section 230
This is a danger to section 230, but not its death knell. Demand your reps vote NO on axing section 230 protections

I don't care if you're being a doomer about it, CALL YOUR REPS AND TELL THEM TO DROP IT. #savespeech #notodigitalID #stopcensorship #censorship #savespeech #stopkillinggames #stopkillingtheinternet
Ofcom has announced a list of age verification methods to be used to enforce the under-16s social media ban.
The only way to prove you're not under 16 is to prove you're older.
That's millions of adults having to hand over sensitive data.
