In an ideal world this would also ban “rewards” discount programs that every fucking store and restaurant has now

The Dems are going to join the GOP on voting this down and it's going to fail by like 10-425

and even if it passed (it wont) it would be massively watered down, include a tax break for silicon valley companies, and within three years there would be a massive violation of the law exposed by a whistleblower that would end in a ruthless prosecution (of the whistleblower)

porky-scared-flipped: “You want to BAN mass surveillance and price discrimination?!?!? Why do you want to OPPRESS people so?!?”

I assumed surveillance pricing was paying to have privacy (or not paying and not having it). It was silly of me to imagine privacy being an option.

this is a great idea they should bring this to whatever federal body makes laws.

huh?

no that can’t be right, congress doesn’t pass laws it’s just a big theater for fake debates.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
