I don't see anything remotely objectionable in that bill, unless you are into sex trafficking, or support those who are into sex trafficking. All it does is clarify that a previous law does not allow people to use the internet for sex trafficking, and then claim it is freedom of speech online or something.
Very stable genius. Stabilizes those around him even.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Was it being censored before?
I could see a general fear of prosecutorial overreach with any bill related to the internet, but they don't need a bill to do that if they are crooked. So that leaves, they are sex traffickers or support sex traffickers.

Canadian Man Charged by Superseding Indictment for Committing an Act of Terrorism Transcending National Boundaries
Amor M. Ftouhi, 50, of Montreal, Canada, who was previously indicted in July 2017, for charges relating to an attack on a Bishop Airport officer in Flint, Michigan, was charged today with an additional offense of committing an act of terrorism transcending national boundaries.
Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers, U.S. Attorney Matthew Schneider for the Eastern District of Michigan and Acting Special Agent in Charge Jefferey E. Peterson of the FBI’s Detroit Field Office made the announcement.
According to court records, Mr. Ftouhi entered the United States from Canada for the purpose of killing government personnel in the United States. Before entering the United States on June 16, 2017, while in Canada, Mr. Ftouhi conducted online research of American gun laws and for gun shows in Michigan. Mr. Ftouhi subsequently traveled to Michigan where he was unsuccessful in purchasing a gun and purchased a knife instead. On June 20, 2017, Mr. Ftouhi walked up to the victim, who is a lieutenant with the Bishop Airport Authority and was in full uniform, and stabbed the police officer in the neck with a knife. Mr. Ftouhi referenced killings in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, and yelled “Allahu Akbar.” After his arrest, Mr. Ftouhi told law enforcement that he was a “soldier of Allah” and subscribed to the ideology of al-Qaeda and Usama bin Laden.
Ftouhi will be arraigned on the new indictment in federal court in Flint. The defendant faces a statutory maximum sentence of life in prison. The maximum statutory sentence is prescribed by Congress and is provided here for informational purposes. Any sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the court based on the advisory Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors. The charges contained in the indictment are merely allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
The case is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan, with assistance from the National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section.
The spousal testimonial privilege prevents the government from coercing one spouse to testify against another. It does not prevent one spouse from voluntarily testifying against the other. Under federal law, the non-testifying spouse cannot invoke it to prevent the testifying spouse from voluntarily testifying. That's my recollection.
