Ohhh, well… Yikes. I think they hop on board without truly understanding what they’re signing up for. OR worse yet, they understand and are OK with it.
The other things politicians do, like in Illinois, is introduce one bill, and his other things within it to get things passed outside the normal channels. Like when Pritzker up and banned 170+specific firearms, ammo limitations, threaded barrels, and then started a registration process. Also repealed knowingly spreading HIV illegal, so anyone (by the sound of it-haven’t looked into it much) can sleep with a new partner without disclosing HIV status. I’m assuming that’s to appeal somehow to the LGBTQ community since the bulk of voters are the Chicago area, but some time he purely for just in time for elections.
You might think the firearms thing is OK as it helps cut down on crime. Nope, instead, there’s cashless bail and softer policies towards criminals. We can’t even accurately report those numbers based on how crimes or incidents are categorized. It’s a mess.
He also just made it so that a bulk of the DOT funds go to Chicago roads with little left over for the remainder of the state… The tolls collected by the Chicago area are supposed to help that, but nooo, just keep reallocating funds around election time. Sure.
Primary Josh Gottheimer. Write in anyone else against him. Vote against him or withhold voting at all in the general.
Do not signal that this is tolerated.
Please explain who this is! At the federal or state level? I don’t know enough
He appears to be a New Jersey Rep, and the Democratic cosponsor of this bill.

Either way it’s a problem.
If politicians are writing tech bills to deliberately undermine freedom: fire them.
If they’re writing bad tech policy because they’re not consulting the “good guys” first, such as the FSF, EFF, or OSI: also fire them.
