I'm fine with Trump endorsing Johnson because he wants to start running 1/21, and it will be a very good test of how blatant the Freedom Caucus will sabotage the next year. I'm sure Trump basically said "You were super faggy for a year because you had no other branches of government, now you do. Get my shit passed or I will schlong you."

I think this is Trump's true M.O. He's effectively changed the GOP to where the core is MAGA, and what's left are 5% GOPe who can't read the tea leaves (there's plenty more but the rest are smart enough to just run with the herd when in power), and then you have maybe 10 Freedom Caucus assholes who will make everything about them for the next year, destroying legislation that would work because "gosh darnit, my principles and A score from some faggy PAC are what I believe in, I reckon, semper fi black rifle coffee."
 
it’s clear to me that India is our new greatest ally. Sorry Israel. There’s a new I in town.
You know, I do wonder what their game is in all this.

I mean their goal for as long as they've existed is subversion, but after WW2 they took a direct intentional effort to target Europe to destroy the Euoprean races so another WW2 Germany could never occur. So on that end, they probably fucking LOVE the 75 IQ Pajeets being shoved everywhere alognside the Arabs, Blacks, etc.

On the other hand the Pajeets aren't smart enough to understand that Israel is their greatest ally, aren't talented enough to keep things running, and aren't economically viable enough to pay the danegeld towards Israel to fund their defense. So are you going to see a swarming horde of SHO KOSHER BOB AND VAGEEN in a few cycles as India just horns in on Israel?

God, that'd be the funniest outcome. Big Brain Long Subversion Game beat by 75 IQ Zerglings. It's like some sort of geopolitical rock paper scissors.
 
You think this whole h1b thing was just a way to distract us from arguing about this?
No. They burned Elon and Vivek, both of which took massive brand damage. "Digital ID" isn't enough to have made that worth it. Just a coincidence.

The H-1B thing has been boiling over for decades, Vivek being outed as a scumfuck con artist was always in the wings (and utterly unsurprising in retrospect, after all, he is Indian), and Elon having an autistic meltdown over the realization that politics is complicated, yo was absolutely 100% not in the cards, as shown by how deathly fucking silent everyone not a second or third string grifter was.

in 20 days trump will be in office, wonder what the first thing he's gonna do is?

They burned way more assets than those two. A lot of the new media people outed themselves. All for nothing too. They would have gotten a H1B increase if they just shut up. Now they have awoken a bear.

Y'know I'm starting to believe the new theory that this entire time a pajeet has been using musks Twitter.

It makes sense. How was he able to be on Twitter and get hundreds of hours in Diablo? By hiring a pajeet to do one word responses to tweets, nobody will know it's a Jeet...until recently where the Jeet got it's feathers ruffled and did a Jeet, and musk comes back to the world crashing down because of it

Insane they didn't have the political awarness to realize this was not the policy to be talking about. The left already despises them, and now every part of the right except boomers who care for nothing but how far their retirement fund will go and crypto grift indians hate them too.
 
I'd actually like to hear about the bill without fear mongering. Probably yes it will and I doubt it's scary as people are making it

pretty much put alot under FTC from reading
Kids Online Safety Act

This bill sets out requirements to protect minors from online harms.

The requirements apply to covered platforms, which are applications or services (e.g., social networks) that connect to the internet and are likely to be used by minors. However, the bill exempts internet service providers, email services, educational institutions, and other specified entities from the requirements.

Covered platforms must take reasonable measures in the design and operation of products or services used by minors to prevent and mitigate certain harms that may arise from that use (e.g., sexual exploitation and online bullying).

Additionally, covered platforms must provide (1) minors with certain safeguards, such as settings that restrict access to minors' personal data; and (2) parents or guardians with tools to supervise minors' use of a platform, such as control of privacy and account settings.

Covered platforms must also

disclose specified information, including details regarding the use of personalized recommendation systems and individual-specific advertising to minors;
allow parents, guardians, minors, and schools to report certain harms;
refrain from facilitating advertising of age-restricted products or services (e.g., tobacco and gambling) to minors; and
annually report on foreseeable risks of harm to minors from using the platform.
Additionally, the bill requires large (based on specified revenue, employment, or user criteria) websites, internet applications, and search engines (including social network sites) to meet certain requirements before using algorithms that prioritize information furnished to the user based on user-specific data. For example, such platforms must (1) provide users with notice that the website uses such algorithms, and (2) make available a version of the platform that uses algorithms that do not prioritize information based on user data.

The bill provides for enforcement through the Federal Trade Commission and states.

Further, the bill requires the commission to seek to contract with the National Academy of Sciences to study the risks of harm to minors by the use of social media and other online platforms.

The bill establishes a council to advise on implementing the bill. It also requires guidance for market and product research focused on minors and an evaluation of options to verify a user's age.

(Verge says same Bill)
Congress moves forward on the Kids Online Safety Act
By Sarah Jeong, features editor who publishes award-winning stories about law, tech, and internet subcultures. A journalist trained as a lawyer, she has been writing about tech for 10 years.

Share this story




The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) was first introduced in 2023; over a year later, with the August recess looming, the Senate is poised to vote on the bill. With 70 cosponsors, the bill appears likely to pass.

Proponents of the bill believe that the law is necessary to safeguard children from harm that could result from the platforms’ relentless quest for user attention. Critics argue that KOSA not only erodes internet freedoms but could also prevent minors — particularly LGBTQ minors — from accessing potentially lifesaving information.

Indeed, lead cosponsor Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) has publicly justified KOSA on the basis that “we should be protecting minor children from the transgender in this culture.”

The current text of KOSA creates a duty of care for platforms, requiring them to take reasonable steps to mitigate a specific list of harms to minors. Those include things like cyberbullying, sexual exploitation, and eating disorders.

On top of that, it would mandate certain kinds of parental tools, require the highest level of privacy settings to be on for kids by default, and let young users have a say in whether they get personalized recommendations, like through algorithmic feeds.

Regardless of what happens in the Senate, the House of Representatives is adjourning for the August recess ahead of schedule, and is set to return in mid-September. It’s difficult to pass legislation in September in an election year, so the ultimate fate of KOSA is very much up in the air.

They would have 100% gotten whatever they were asking for re: visas, day 1, in the middle of 100 other EOs that the media was going to sperg about and no one would have noticed. Trump didn't care about any of that shit, would have viewed it as small potatoes.

The total lack of impulse control/discipline by the Johnny-come-lately TechRight should give everyone in the administration pause. These nerd-ass faggots posture as the masters of the universe, but it's hard to overstate how amateur hour this whole sequence of events was.

Not every aspect of it is bad but it would be interesting to see the consequences of the "allow parents, guardians, minors, and schools to report certain harms" and "refrain from facilitating advertising of age-restricted products or services (e.g., tobacco and gambling) to minors" part should the legislation be implemented. it is definitely giving Federal Trade Commission and state authorities more leeway to deal with social media networks.

The exemption for email services and educational institutions is interesting to see.

Know it all, Felching-expert, and power-bottom Adam Conover keeps seething at the election results.

I don't entirely disagree with his take (dems lost because they're substituting community for money), but what a cum vacuuming faggot holy shit.

His argument is that the average normie is now alienated from politics, because this role used to be fulfilled by small community groups "like unions".
These groups got (R)aped by (R)egulations, Tech, and The Youth™.
The only ones that survived are overwhelmingly republican (like the NRA) whereas the democrats suck out money from the commie shitholes of America, and use it to pretend to give a shit about Americans.
He uses the example of Erie, Pennsylvania, where the closest democrat-aligned event is all way in Altoona, PA (200 miles by car), whereas the NRA has multiple local events under 15 miles away.
