If removing CSAM is good, then there is clearly a line somewhere.
The only question is "who gets to draw it"?
Why should it be foreign oligarchs and not our own democratic representatives?
To do so, ironically, constitutes "taking back our country" from autocrats abroad.
The arrogance of the House GOP trying to tell our democracy what is and isn't harmful is grating. You're not our colonial administrators. Abide by our rules or get out.
No, it constitutes the taking of the country by the autocrats at home (or in Brussels). It is ridiculous to call them "democratic representatives" when they are trying to keep secret how they are censoring the people they rule, sorry, "represent".
It's also ridiculous to claim that censoring the very desire to reclaim one's country, is reclaiming one's country, by virtue of who is doing the secret censoring.
> Who do House Republicans think they are that they can tell our democracy what is and isn't harmful? Abide by our rules or get out.
As a European I am very grateful to the Republicans for exposing how my own supranational rulers are controlling me, something which, again, they tried to keep secret, while preaching about "democracy".
Edit as reply:
> So your definition of "taking back our country" is... Americans telling us what we can and can't do in the best interest of their owners?
They're not telling us what we can and can't do. They're telling us what our rulers are keeping secret from us.
> Should the EU actually overstep, tech companies can take it to the open, public courts
I repeated how they kept the nature of censorship secret three times. You don't get to talk about "open, public courts".
> If you don't like the DSA, vote for MEPs that are opposed.
I will. But many won't, because they are being deceived by the EU regarding how the legislation works. How democratic is it when governments lie, and people vote based on those lies? And for some strange reason, none of the many misinformation watchdogs picked up on this misinformation.
