Notes: I don't want the US gov fucking tracking me everywhere. My life is stressful enough. I've got enough worries. Help. Please protest, spread this and contact the senate to target this bill. Strike this bill down.

the bill is intentionally vague. it's left up to state attorneys general to decide what that means and it requires websites to collect id data to verify age. several conservative politicians have bragged that they're going to use this bill to go after online queer communities. and the Biden admin and DNC generally support the bill so it's likely to pass.
