[00:00] It's real harm online. It passed. Including predatory design features. It passed. This is official representatives for Top Democrat. We have, you know, Republicans as well.
[00:14] All in support of this bill that was, you know, called the Kids Act that I covered earlier this morning. It received overwhelming amount of support, bipartisan support from both political parties, Republicans and Democrats.
[00:27] 267 people voted to basically be against freedom of expression and speech online and 117 were patriots that tried to stop this from happening, but Obviously there wasn't enough votes to counter it so the house has officially decided to move forward with basically forcing age
[00:46] verification biometric scanning in any form of way to verify your personal identification online and And this will affect the entire internet. The fact that this even passed the House is pretty damning,
[00:59] especially with how overwhelmingly one-sided the votes were. Like, it wasn't even close. Like, the fact that it has 267 votes and then only 117 fought against it
[01:11] pretty much showcases that, yeah, this is being pushed through and both parties are very happy to push this through. and now next up is for the Senate to decide if this becomes law or not.
[01:24] There a little bit more steps after that but overall the fact that this made it so far through and both sides pretty much came to an agreement I think is indication enough that we are actually witnessing the death of the internet as we know it
[01:38] Like, the ability to be anonymous, the ability to have your own privacy, we are legit actually witnessing this happen within the United States. The only hope that we can have at this point now is that the Senate literally shuts this down completely.
[01:52] there's always a chance but it is really scary the fact that over 260 people voted for this and it was just this one sided but uh yeah so um this um this is uh pretty scary the fact that uh we're
[02:06] seeing the same exact speech that we see within the UK being used from these different representatives and politicians with the United States saying the exact same words like echoing the same thing of think of the children protect the children but we all know that is not what this is about everybody
[02:21] where the working, functioning brain knows that this is how they get these laws passed, because they use the optics of think of the children, protect the children, and if you try to fight back against it, they're like, you're a weirdo not wanting to keep children off the internet,
[02:34] but obviously the real reason is to open up the door to where they can now start implementing even more draconic laws to censor your speech or spy on you, and even put you at risk potentially of doxing yourself.
[02:46] Like, let's, um, let's get into this, a little bit more of this. So basically, you know, let's say in a perfect world that this law really is the intention of it is to protect kids and there is no alternative like, you know, methods of what they're trying to do with this.
[02:59] Like for instance they are truly trying to protect you know kids from being on the internet The problem here is is that even if this is the case these different sites like for instance Discord Reddit Wikipedia Twitter
[03:11] all, you get the point, you'll have to implement your ID or some form of biometric scan just to be able to access these sites. And can you legitimately trust these sites with your personal information after seeing continuous data breaches, like with Discord, for instance, earlier this year?
[03:26] No, you cannot. And the fact that, you know, this is going to be implemented throughout the entirety of the internet, is pretty horrifying because this means that these littler sites, these sites that don't have a lot of money or infrastructure to be able to build probably the proper protections for you, might
[03:41] have massive data breaches and your information is just straight up lost. This is just, this is a doomsday scenario, honestly, for the internet. Like, this is actually a pretty dark day. Like I said, it isn't completely over. Like, the Senate can still shut this down, but the fact that
[03:58] they pushed this through the door with next to no pushback and they kind of snuck it under everybody's radar until the day before this literally happened really says what they're doing here and I really hope that people gain awareness of this situation and they fight back
[04:12] because this is not about protecting kids this is not about think of the children this is about invading your privacy this is about you basically no longer being anonymous online and basically doxing yourself putting yourself at risk online that is what this is because you know they're
[04:27] going to be implementing these different companies and sites are going to be implementing like you know age verification checks most likely with ai and we all know that that can get stuff very very wrong and so let say you someone that uh you know has a dying grandma on the floor and that needs help and you need to look up a YouTube video or something or a guide to be able to do chest compressions to do CPR
[04:47] Well, you're going to have to verify your age real quick. You're going to have to put in your ID, you're going to have to scan your face, going to wait until the AI checks it while your grandma is potentially dying on the floor. That's what I'm trying to get. That's a very extreme example, obviously. But what I'm saying is, is that stuff like this is going to cause a lot of harm.
[05:02] There is areas to where this can even cause people to die. I mean, very extreme, very, very extreme example, yes. But I'm just trying to say is that this is very damaging.
[05:14] It puts just so many people at risk. It puts, like, you know, people's information in the crossfire where it can be lost by these companies. It's just, it's bad. I, I, absolutely shameful that this actually even passed.
[05:27] It is so sad I even have to make this video and say, yeah, it passed with overwhelming support. So, yeah, I will leave it at that.
[05:39] I just wanted to talk about this because obviously I told you guys I would give you an update depending on where the law went today, if it passed or not. And, yep, here you go. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but here we are. So the only thing we can do now at this point is contact your local representatives,
[05:53] like different Senate members that are going to be voting on this in the future, and tell them you do not want this to pass. That's literally the only way now at this point to counter this because if we don't, it will probably pass through the Senate.
[06:06] So anyways, you all have a fantastic day or night wherever you live. Be safe, stay healthy. Chibi out.
