Wait, Democrats AND Republicans, and it's named the Kids Online Safety Act....
Yeah it'll fuck over the American public, just like the patriot act or obamacare, you can't trust the government with these issues.
I terms of censoring LGBTWHATEVER content, I'm fine with age gating it so it isn't pushed on kids, but that should both be the rating agency and parents responsibility in content curation.

Yeah, all of that is a huge red flag.
Also, reminder, it's not the government's job to give us safety, it's their job to protect rights. Almost any "safety" bill is going to be authoritarian nonsense. Especially kid safety. Especially internet safety. I'm just surprised that not trying to take the guns too (that I know of, haven't read it), I suppose that's for a different bill.
Every single government is a gang of thugs with a monopoly on violence over a specific territory. That's it, nothing more. Sometimes that gang can be on your side, oftentimes they're mostly on their own side, and sometimes they can be downright bastards.
Lets not push delusional ideas about "protecting rights" or whatever.
As far as censorship -- I think it's reasonable and correct to flag any game that promotes sexual deviancy (whether it's a character or a flag) as MA or equivalent rating. Beyond that parents can take some responsibility.

I'm saying that's their ideal purpose. Government is also ideally a tool, and should be stopped from becoming too powerful of a gang...we obviously failed on that front this time around. But in an actually representational system, yes, the government should be protecting rights.

It should all be on the parents. Any time the government gets involved, shit gets messy. Any rating system should be voluntary, with a nongovernment oversight committee or something. Because, as you said, the government often ends up with too much power, so them getting involved is ripe for abuse, no matter how good the goals sound.
Hell, even if this is claiming to hold big tech accountable, I think we should know when it's just someone using a cause like that just for their own agenda.
I'm not fine with LGBTwhatever content. anywhere, for any reason. it's anti-human, anti-polite society, and anti-decency. faggots should feel profound shame and isolation for being a faggot in public.
I think it's kinda sad, really, since it reminds me of all the parents complaining about their kids having "Skibidi Toilet Syndrome" after leaving their kids with Ipads and wanting the series kicked off youtube rather than making sure themselves their kids aren't being exploited for content farms or even just not letting the kids use the app without them to watch them.

Excuse me, we're not talking about fantasy violence. Let me present a scenario: is it alright for a parent, under their prerogative, to repeatedly show hardcore pornography to their child? Would anyone have a problem with that not being legal?
I believe there is a place for law to forbid what has been proven to corrupt. You can't prove much with fantasy violence, but there's much argument to make about sexual degeneracy.

No? But we used to publicly beat those parents and put their kids with a safer relative, typically grandparents or aunts and uncles.
The problem is that it has been shown thoughout history, giving the government the right to make laws that supercede parents responsibilities will ALWAYS be misused and abused. It'd be the definition of insanity to expect NOW the governments will suddenly be able to do their jobs and keep kids safe if we gave them this authority.
If we're talking about realistic scenarios, nobody's taking parents outside and beating them for ruining their kids. On the contrary, we're moving quickly towards an era of celebrating post-birth abortion.

While that's true, this law is way too broad and would cover things that should be up to parental discretion. (and beyond)
