The occasional reminder that even #Massachusetts isn't immune to Dangerous Political Stupidity: https://www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2026-04-09-massachusetts-house-advances-unconstitutional-social-media-ban-bill-that-will-harm-lgbtq-youth-and-human-rights/
tl;dr -- the #MA House passed a bill that is *wildly* invasive of #online #privacy, in the name of "think of the children!" pearl-clutching. It's likely to do far more harm than good, probably especially to the most vulnerable.
If you live in MA, please look up your State Senator and ask them to block this idiocy: https://malegislature.gov/Search/FindMyLegislator

@jducoeur@social.coop is this similar to the Australian social media ban? Sounds like it could be but hard to tell from that article

@jducoeur@social.coop Incredible to think that all these politicians who are so distressed about ICE and the overreach of the federal government would just hand them a fantastic tool for additional surveillance and persecution
