So we need to defend the First Amendment again. They should probably have constricted the 2nd before the 1st for their own good.

Don’t worry, they fully intend to use drones to wipe out any resistance. I always wondered when we’d live in the terror of the skies like they have in the middle east for two decades now.
Kind of hard to use a handgun or shotgun to deal with a Reaper drone that’s nailing you from a mile away.
I wonder how effective at 308 round is to a drone, even just putting a sizable hole in the wing. And that’s assuming it’s causing at an altitude that’s within range.

Better than 308, yes. But still, shooting at something moving that fast, at that range, straight into the air, don’t expect to hit anything except the neighborhood kids when the bullet comes back down.

I think drone warfare so far has shown that one of the advantages of drones, for a weapon, is their ability to be produced cheapy, en masse, and with a relatively limited manufacturing infrastructure. Assuming you have the computer parts anyway, which are abundant in today’s society. One of the implications of that, I think, is that in future asymmetric or civil wars and the like, they’re not going to be like fighter jets or tanks, where one side will have them and the other must improvise countermeasures. They’re going to be like guns and explosives, where both sides are going to have access to at least some degree.

Oh absolutely agreed, I was mostly just responding to the idea that the 2nd amendment would be a safeguard. Last I checked, drones don’t seem to be considered a weapon in most cases, and thus are not seemingly covered by the 2nd amendment right to bear arms. Instead, they’re a free-for-all, which is both a good thing and a bad thing, of course.

Trump has shown just how the bill can be abused, saying earlier this year that he would personally use the takedown provisions to censor speech critical of the president.
Bye YouTube! All those beautiful AI videos and making fun of Donald… soon to be gone!

If politicians ruin the internet we’re showing up at their house and they will have to deal us IRL
Right? It's the biggest circus of all. Do you really want all those clowns looking for something else to do?
It’s called The People’s House for a reason.

So many dead cats on this table. 😮💨
So the first amendment is gone and the second amendment guys? You know, the trump voters who will defend the constitution with their guns and shit?
Oh yeah, trump jingled some shiny keys in front of them whilst setting their diapers on fire and they’re so happy, so adorable
This isn’t the first go round with Internet censorship. There’s been dozens of bills over the last decade trying to do the same thing.
seems likes happening already, reddit, youtube, fb, X all bends the knee to trump.
they just passed the saves act through the HOUSE, meaning it harms democrat voters more than the right,.
