I was just about to say... > when they knowingly facilitate criminal activity online.
Does this include the criminal misinformation campaigns the GOP love to quote as free speech? What justifies criminality? And WTF is the justice department doing writing laws? That’s outside their jurisdiction. Congress writes laws. But I guess when your political party owns congress, the White House, and the justice department... you can do whatever you want regardless of the constitution.
- slowmovintarget 6y agoThey are proposing legislation. Congress would have to adopt it into a bill. Doesn't mean it's going to happen, or that it will pass. But anyone can write a letter to Congress and propose legislation. You and I would likely get a nice pat on the head and an auto-signed letter, but we can do it. The DoJ is on step 1: https://www.usa.gov/how-laws-are-made https://www.usa.gov/how-laws-are-made They simply have a louder podium to announce their idea.
- gabereiser 6y agoYeah, I know how laws are made, it just shocks me that it's coming direct from the DOJ, quoting the administration.
