RED ALERT!! All Hands on Deck, THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!!! The House Will Vote on Tuesday To Shut Down Sites Like Voat!! (whatever)

submitted ago by bdmthrfkr

This bill is being voted on in the House which will be the death of our beloved Voat, we cannot allow this to happen, WRITE, EMAIL and CALL your Congressman!!!

If this law passes all (((they))) have to do to shut down ANY site is to False Flag sex trafficking and the Feds will move on the site's owners; namely our beloved @puttitout. This must be stopped at all costs!

Wait, Voat is American?

PS: No it's not. I did some research and Voat is Swiss, so the American bill OP linked to has no jurisdiction. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/what-voat-anti-censorship-alternative-reddit-that-trolls-have-flocked-1510615

Atko started the site offshore but handed it over to Putt a while back and it was moved to America.

Well that's a dumb thing to do.

Move it in under the Patriot Act etc.

First amendment made the US the best place to host a site like voat

Articles 13, 16, and 17 of the Swiss Constitution aren't good enough?

I don't really know anything about the Swiss Constitution, so I can not make an intelligent comment on that. I do remember that put and atko mentioned the freedom of speech in america when it was moved. Hell I remember atko looking for someone in America to register the site

Just the Patriot Act, and National Security Letters. Them's some shit, man.

Fucking Unconstitutional is what they are
