If you think this is a partisan issue you are woefully naive to the nature of those people who seek the sorts of powers that big tech promises.

It’s not a Dem/Rep issue nearly so much as it is an Insider/Outsider issue.

“Cross us and your constituents will get a leak of your AI generated nudes” style intimidation. Great for getting rid of pesky populists and regulators and people who give a shit about climate change.

I got as far as Tom Cotton. Everything else in that article is just going to be a waste of time to read.

The man is without ethics or morals.

Tom Cotton is an embarrassment to the State of Arkansas and we did not need anymore help in that arena.

Just a warning that link straight downloads the file. It is just a PDF but if you’re a security minded person avoid clicking.

I can’t believe plutocrats that hate unions are against a progressive party. Also, I have never read one thing about American history except WWII porn where they pretend we were involved the whole time.
