We've opposed the Take It Down Act because it could be easily manipulated to take down lawful content that powerful people simply don't like. Last night, President Trump demonstrated he has a similar view on the bill. He wants to sign the bill into law, then use it to remove content about — him....

    This is literally step 1 in a dictatorship. Not kidding. Silencing of political opposition and critics in a free democracy? Nah.

      I generally agree, but I think we’re already past step 1.

    Mussolini would be proud. His teachings are being followed a hundred years after he wrote the book on this topic.

    Trump says a lot of things that, if taken in a certain light, can be NCII. Might be a good idea to flag his posts on all platforms so that they can be further investigated by those platforms if this passes.

    All with the goal to keep NCII off the internet, of course.

          How can the imagery be intimate if it’s non-consensual?
