Like all draconian measures, they use the guise of a good cause to pass a law that they fully intend to abuse. This law was "intended" to put a stop to deepfakes and revenge porn, but we have the president openly admitting that he intends to use it for himself. From Trump last night:
>I look forward to signing that bill into law. And I’m going to use that bill for myself too if you don’t mind, because nobody gets treated worse than I do online, nobody.
Unless Trump is concerned about NCII involving his likeness (he's not), he's openly admitting what this law is actually for - to silence opposition.

- barbazoo 2y agoIt’s another case where he didn’t know what’s going on, heard three words he knew and started babbling. And then people try to interpret it like tealeaves.
