Some protection, even if its flawed, is better than none.
The objection is that this places restrictions on us all. It’s pathetic over-reach by a woke government obsessed with trying to dictate everything we do.

But it won’t protect them as they will get around it with a VPN. This is the point you are not addressing.

Additionally, the Act threatens free speech. How long before we can only read the government version of what’s what?
