WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) introduced the Interstate Obscenity Definition Act today to clarify the legal
definition of "obscenity" for all states, making the transmission of obscene content across state lines more easily
prosecuted. U.S. Representative Mary Miller (R-IL) is the bill's co-lead in the House of Representatives.
"Obscenity isn't protected by the First Amendment, but hazy and unenforceable legal definitions have allowed extreme
pornography to saturate American society and reach countless children," said Senator Mike Lee. "Our bill updates the legal
definition of obscenity for the internet age so this content can be taken down and its peddlers prosecuted."
"The Interstate Obscenity Definition Act equips law enforcement with the tools they need to target and remove obscene
material from the internet, which is alarmingly destructive and far outside the bounds of protected free speech under the
Constitution. I'm proud to lead this effort in the House with Senator Lee to safeguard American families and ensure this
dangerous material is kept out of our homes and off our screens." — Representative Mary Miller

So, uh. first of all...Mike Lee can't just wave a magic wand and change the definition of obscenity. That's not how the First Amendment works.

Second, this is a naked attempt to subject the Internet to the censorious whims of the most puritanical community.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

So, naming your kid Elon at this point is kinda like naming him Adolf.

While BlueSky is great alternative for Threads & X, what other new networks have you tried? Any good alternatives to Insta, TT, FB?
