Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I have yet to hear any good explanations about how they are going to enforce this on a mass scale. It sounds like a law to be selectively applied when targeting parents and youth in other cases. "In addition to disrupting public peace with their protest about keeping sex ed in schools, the defendant let their child use TikTok and Instagram where they were exposed to incredibly dangerous unapproved perspectives from outside Florida!", at which point the Christofacist jury can wail and clutch at their pearls.

Oh that’s for the poors to figure out.

Social media sites are expected to just assume everyone is a minor unless they upload a picture of their ID proving they are an adult.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

The cynic in me believes this serves two purposes.

The main purpose is obvious, but if the definition of "social media" extends to having the ability to register accounts and leave comments, Pornhub will fit under that umbrella. It would be awfully convenient to force Pornhub to collect ID that can be associated with IP addresses and viewing habits.

The government is so tiny they can deploy it to a phone.

Like nearly everything else DeLoser has signed in the last three years, this too will die in a federal court room.

Why govern when you can spend your whole term vice signaling?

Get these big gummint republicans all up outta everyone’s nutsacks, ffs.

[–] yokonzo@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Wouldn't the only way to enforce this be to require ID verification for social media?

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

There's always the classic fascist method of randomly charging people for its violation, not targeting political opponents at all, and making people afraid of letting their kids anywhere near social media.

[–] riskable@programming.dev 5 points 8 months ago

No, you can always pretend! Just like DeSantis pretends to govern with useless garbage laws like this.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Lol. FloridaMan.

This dude is the living embodiment of the “so…I bet you’re real fun at parties” quip.

I thought that was a Chuck Testa for a second. Is that pout permanent now that he knows we know about the shoe lifts?
