A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This was my reply in another thread about this bullshit:
That's a bit difficult to argue in a world where the most prominent of such laws was passed in California, where Democrats control the entire legislative process.
I have not looked up the voting record for it, but would suspect that, like most of the worst laws in the US, it was enthusiastically supported by both parties? Am I wrong about that?
The Democratic Party as an apparatus is made up in large part by a bunch of neoliberal fascist-appeasers. Progressive are still a (growing) minority in the party. Leftists are nearly non-existent in it.
From your instance, I'm guessing you have limited knowledge of the American political system. I don't mean this as an insult; I couldn't tell you a damn thing about CDU/CSU policies (AfD, of course, is easy to parse). The Democratic Party is just as captured as the Nazi one. It's all corporate money, so the real difference between red states and blue states is politicians in blue states at least pretend to care for the working class.
So you're agreeing with me that this was supported by both parties…?
(I'm actually Austrian, not German; I have however read enough about US politics that I'm fairly confident in my statement above.)
Well, it's not so much about parties but rather "donors" ... which is to say, lobbyists who give not one whit whether there's an R or D after the name if they can get what they want.
Yeah, across the board participation. Because of heavy lobbying.
And none of this will prevent a single incidence of child abuse.
I think that's the "with the help of tech bros" part. Rather high population of those in California, and boy do they have lobbying money.
