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!

I kind of hope that is passes so it might start a decentralized forum and imageboard arms race that will create sites can't be (((shut down))). It might be a little too optimistic of me to think it will though.

That will be our fall-back position if we are forced into it but it is hard to reach hearts and minds from inside of a deep dark well. I know what you are saying and I hope that all fre thinkers take this lesson to heart and build a free web but losing this battle will cut off our access to the general population.
Fight this first and then lets start creating a backup plan.
