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!

The one thing that I saw was "The bill would allow the government to prosecute websites which knowingly help or promote sex trafficking". Is that what voat is about criminal activity's.

No the problem is that bad actors can plant evidence on a site that they don't like, hide it in a corner that nobody will ever see and then use that in a Federal court of law. Most site owners will opt to close the site before they have to run the proprietorial gauntlet.

The gatekeepers realized that there were backdoors in their walled garden, now they MUST close all of the other gates.
Don't let them. Fight. Fight for your rights or you will lose them.
