So, OS-level age-gating is going federal, which will effectively kill your rights to device ownership and what's left of free speech and expression.

Enjoy your free speech while you still have it because this is a clear attempt to erase that right.

SOPA never died, it just went into hiding until time to reemerge, and now's that time, this is basically SOPA in a save the kids trenchcoat.

Fires? Plural?

I only know of the one.

Remember that the media will suppress these incidents.

Yep, literally only saw social media and maybe a single local news outlet reporting on it that day, I actually had to dig a little to figure out whether the story was sensationalized or not

Are there any media outlets resisting? I think you’re right. Hearing of growing resistance does make people less alone in their thinking and; grow action. But they need to hear in the first place.

I’ve seen a bunch of reports, none were live streamed so they haven’t broken through. Some are probably actually accidental but I doubt they all are, additionally the Molotovs thrown at Sam Altman house and a Tesla dealership. I believe I heard something about one at a Raytheon office.

There’s a lot of chaff I haven’t completely sorted through but again im hopeful

Yeah shits breaking down on the edges and will probably only gain more traction as energy bills hit come the summer with the obligatory spike in air conditionet usage. Depending on how things escalate it may very well be possible to see feds being chased out of cities by militia sooner or later.
