Reminder that netchoice is a lobbying group funded and organized by big tech. They aren't your friend. This is a case of temporarily aligned interests.

Never stop your enemy when he makes an error in your favor.

This isn't an error. Age verification laws hurt the profits of corporations.

Okay, so it's a win-win. I'm not against the option of profit when it increases freedom.

Vague laws are void: The Court found the Act’s definitions of “social media platform” unconstitutionally vague, noting that companies would be forced to “guess” at the law’s meaning, leading to arbitrary enforcement.

Finally I can point to a court case for why we need to stop referring to everything as social media.
