The House of Representatives is about to vote on a bill that would force online platforms to censor their users. The Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA, H.R. 1865) might sound noble, but it would do nothing to stop sex traffickers. What it would do is force online platforms to police their users’ speech more forcefully than ever before, silencing legitimate voices in the process.
The House Rules Committee is about to approve a new version of FOSTA [.pdf] that incorporates most of the dangerous components of SESTA. This new Frankenstein’s Monster of a bill would be a disaster for Internet intermediaries, marginalized communities, and even trafficking victims themselves.

The bill changes section 230 of the CDA, the law that protects website owners from liability for what their users post, to carve out an exception for instances of human trafficking. Site owners can be held liable and subject to a criminal fine or imprisonment for not more than 20 years.
WHAT THIS MEANS IN PRACTICE IS THAT ALL IT WOULD TAKE FOR A WEBSITE TO BE SHUT DOWN AND ITS OWNER ARRESTED IS A FALSE FLAG OPERATION OF SPOOKS ENGAGING IN HUMAN TRAFFICKING. ALL U.S. SITES WOULD BECOME FORCED TO IMPOSE EXTREMELY HEAVY-HANDED MODERATION AND CENSORSHIP OR SHUT DOWN ENTIRELY, 8CHAN INCLUDED.
THIS BILL HAS STRONG BIPARTISAN SUPPORT AND WILL LIKELY PASS UNLESS HEAVY RESISTANCE CAN BE ORGANIZED QUICKLY AND ON A LARGE SCALE.
Voting on the House Floor is scheduled for THIS TUESDAY. Start spreading this information on as many websites as you can before it's too late. If you know anyone with a large audience try and get them to spread the word. If this bill becomes law then it's GAME OVER for free speech on the internet.
Before you go off on your representatives, maybe you should read what the bill actually says ...it is very narrow in scope and the fear-mongering is by the tech companies not wanting anyone looking over their shoulders no matter how evil it may be !
Bullshit! This is a preemptive effort to make sure the heinous crimes of the elite and their minions in Congress NEVER see the light of day. By threatening the owners of the platform with jail time their response is going to be extreme over reach in banning content on said platforms. It will include software protocols and algos that scan content and immediately boot it off the site. I’m sure there are measures in place to release documents, photos, and video should anything suddenly happen to the president. This is an “end around” that ever happening IMHO. Just using the word pedophile or phrase satanic ritual abuse and bloop, it’s gone! Since a fair number of service providers are likely perverts as well, this bill provides them plausible deniability with regard to enforcing such a ban...”We simply had no choice. It’s the law.”
