People who don’t understand tech are making tech policies.

Government doing what government does best… stifling innovation in the name of “protecting our children” while heroin dealers go free on the streets. Utter nonsense!!

I think I spend too much time with my toddler.

Yeah they will be cut of from the internet if they do that...
