I just wrote to Blumenthal and shared some info from your post. He's my senator, and I agree with most of his policies, but this is seriously misguided. Thanks for helping me to understand the chilling effect this bill would potentially have on every popular online communications service.
I seriously cannot imagine how this would not put Facebook, Google, Reddit, and every other online communications platform out of business overnight.
- losteric 9y agoThe law can and will be selectively enforced to the betterment of those in power. Facebook will be fine giving the government unlimited access to their deeply mined data. Diaspora, Mastodon, those are the sites that will get crushed.
- amelius 9y agoIf Facebook's and Google's future is at risk, why haven't they done anything to stop this bill?
- CamperBob2 9y agoBecause like almost all laws of this nature, the costs of compliance will harm upstart competitors greatly while being a rounding error on the books of the major incumbent players.
- Buttons840 9y agoAgreed. Joe will end up in jail because his blog had a comment section. What about Facebook? Are they going to put Facebook in jail?
