Well with a vote count of 409-2, the House passed the "Take it Down" act last night. It passed the Senate unanimously. Dear America: Democrats aren't going to save us from Trump Fascism... but they will help shovel dirt into the grave of our Republic.

Congress Passes TAKE IT DOWN Act Despite Major Flaws

It would give the powerful a dangerous new route to manipulate platforms into removing lawful speech that they simply don't like, with President Trump himself saying that he would use the law to censor his critics. The bill passed the Senate in February, and it now heads to the president's desk.

#TakeItDown Act has passed the #House 409-2 giving #Trump & the #FTC power to #censor the #internet.

The bill seems good at first glance. It requires online platforms to remove nonconsensual intimate imagery aka“revenge porn.”

However, it will also enable the FTC to demand #content be removed from websites.

🚨In fact, Trump said he will use the bill ON HIS OWN BEHALF, presumably to remove criticism of him from the web.
