and require two-thirds of the Supreme Court and federal circuit courts of appeals to overturn any law passed by Congress

Netanyahu would be proud.

Was Ron Wyden not usually one of the few forces for good in relation to internet bills, like SOPA and such? Now he's proposing something like this.

The other things mentioned in the article are unobjectionable, some of them even good, but this?!

no, it's a feature, not a bug, that we can have more than one community for discussing the same topic here; makes it harder to censor

Nick Fuentes was born in 1998, so it's been a few years since he was 18.

Also relevant: teenage me thought the future would be awesome because people like me would be in power. Nick Fuentes is several years younger than me, I would classify him as having more power than me nowadays (after all, journalists report on his opinions about things; journalists do not report on mine), so we can tell that my prediction was very wrong.

Why would someone aged 10 or 11 ever think, even for one moment, that anti-aging products (any, whatsoever, at all!) are something they might need?!

"kids shouldn't be on the Internet" "we need to regulate social media" "we need to ban the sale of this or that to young people" blahblahblah - no, we apparently need to teach kids basic common sense, such as that if you aren't even fully grown yet, you definitely do not need anti-aging products

The more obscure a web page is, the more likely it is to be indexed only by the large search engines (i.e. Google). There are search queries that return 0 results on DDG, but quite a few (relatively) obscure websites on Google. This is simply because the more money a search engine operator has, the more websites it will index.

So what you want is kind of contradictory.

Entire Internet feels like a propaganda warzone nowadays. It used to be possible to have civil, open-minded discussions, not anymore.

John Perry Barlow was right

Is there any hope at all left that governments might one day leave us on the Internet in peace?

I think the line is easy to draw: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/moderation-is-different-from-censorship

I oppose most censorship, but I do not oppose moderation. If you don't want to see certain people speaking freely, you shouldn't have to, but you shouldn't be allowed to keep them from speaking freely to each other.
