They held a supermajority WITH INDEPENDENT CAUCUS and one of those independents demanded they drop even the PUBLIC-OPTION version in order to pass any version of the bill.
Then the S.2073 bill you mentioned, it had 3 nay votes, 2 R and 1 D, and also 6 Not Voting 3 R and 3 D. It restricts very specific actions taken by companies targeting those of age 13 or younger, with a pretty massive list of exceptions. FULL TEXT HERE. It’s actually pretty cool, IMO, it bans data gathering of the children, infinite scrolling feeds, personalized recommendations, notifications, or in-game purchases in the context of platforms targeting children of age 13 or younger.
I didn’t mention S.2073. I mentioned S.146 or “TAKE IT DOWN Act” which covers:
Specifically, the bill prohibits the online publication of intimate visual depictions of
an adult subject where publication is intended to cause or does cause harm to the subject, and where the depiction was published without the subject’s consent or, in the case of an authentic depiction, was created or obtained under circumstances where the adult had a reasonable expectation of privacy; or
a minor subject where publication is intended to abuse or harass the minor or to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person.
And requires social media companies to remove images within 48 hours (meaning automatic removals with no time to review when talking about the scale of places like Facebook and Instagram).
This means any memes someone creates about Trump will now automatically be removed since he’ll claim they intend to cause him harm. He specifically stated that this is how he’ll use this law.
This was signed into law by Trump today after passing the House 409-2 last month. The two dissenting votes were from Republicans.
I noticed you seemed to gloss over every single other criticism in my comment as well. Why is that if you think you’re better informed on “actual policy” and “history” of the Democratic party?
It’s weird you missed where my quote says “without consent” and used that as a springboard to derail the conversation away from your original claim. Do you think Trump consents to the memes people make about him? Why were the Democrats so eager to give him the power to remove any online depiction of him that he didn’t consent to, and why are you so desperate to whitewash the facts of the situation?

Its weird that you explicitly left out the word NONCONSENSUAL in your quote.

If Trump doesn’t consent to pornographic images of him then I fully endorse his ability to have them taken down.
I, in general, don’t want to see naked pictures of people who don’t want me to see them.
