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!

How does Voat promote sex trafficking? I'm not seeing this site listed in that link either so what am I missing?

It doesn't but if anybody wants your site shut down they just spam you with child porn. Then you get shut down and Putt does a jail term.

So is it more fear of someone randomly "attacking" Voat like that to get it shut down more than govt intentionally doing this to target a site like Voat? Because at least from my experience here I don't see why govt would want to target it over other sites. Reddit had Schwartz which created some issues due to his "activism", but AFAIK Voat doesn't have anyone like that.

You weren't around about 2 months (ish) ago but the site owner had mentioned that Voat had generated a fair amount of heat from "powerful" people. This place is influential and they are very scared of it, Voat will be targeted if this law passes.

I don't understand why I'd get downvoted without a response? I do not know why an authority figure would be afraid of Voat, so I'm curious to see the post by the owner as to what Voat was getting "heat" for.
