During his address to Congress this week, Donald Trump endorsed the Take It Down Act while openly declaring his plans to abuse it: “And I’m going to use that bill for myself too, if you don’t mind, because nobody gets treated worse than I do online, nobody.”

    because nobody gets treated worse than I do online, nobody

    Hunter Biden’s dick was shown and shared by MTG, Danny’s law was passed during your last administration to curb the ten suicide rates due to online bullying, and the numbers are still pretty fucking bleak.

    But yeah, you should probably craft a law to silence the monsters who call you a liar, thief, racist, bully, grifter, rapist, and murderer just because you are one. Gotta protect your poor little fee-fees from the words of the people you’re actively hurting.

      That’s a good point. I’m not going to believe that “nobody gets treated worse than [Trump] does online” unless he proves it by unaliving himself.
