This is exactly why I asked if anyone could clarify for me, I didn’t understand what was really being put on the political table here. Thank you for elucidating, the language used to write these proposals is often confusing for me. I understand that’s often done purposely by the people submitting such legislation, so I usually have to find someone who can understand it better then I can.
Answering my own question, it seems that “Sunset acts” are a common occurrence in legislation that end programs and activities that have more or less run their course or stopped being effective or meaningful.
The reason this Sunset Act is being mentioned is…
Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act was created to protect early internet platforms from lawsuits over user-generated content, a safeguard widely seen as essential to the internet’s development. As social media companies have become some of the nation’s most powerful and influential corporations, critics have questioned whether that protection should remain.
… so my understanding is that this Sunset will remove some outdated protections from social media platforms, effectively forcing them to adapt with better policies and practices or open themselves up to litigation.
Since the text of this bill almost exclusively “strikes” sections of other, preexisting legislation, I can’t quite tell what it really does without trying to locate and read each of the other pieces of legislation. Does anyone have a quick summery of what effect this proposal would have if passed?

These are not unintended consequences. They know perfectly well the effects such laws will have, and want that result.
He was given 21.5 years in prison, it’s not gonna matter much if he can apply for a license after getting out from that. Looking at him, I’d say he’s around 45-55, so 21.5 means he’ll be aged to the point of more likely to fail the exam then pass it.

Police do not stop crimes, at least not here in the USA. Police punish after the crime happens, at best.
Thank you, hopefully discussing this will help some of the people I know see reality, rather then the indoctrination they consume right now.
Which order is that? Can you link it if possible? I want to show that to some people I know, they definitely need to see it
Also the sleep function on Steam Deck is pretty good. I bring mine to work and grab some offline playtime during my 15 minute breaks, and sometimes during my 30 min lunch after i eat. No Man’s Sky is chill and easy to pickup/putdown, Minecraft as well. I’m sure other titles would work as well.

The US is a malign actor for the US as well. Our government has become a danger to our own citizens.
67 is a cultural meme, and pretty harmless. It’s like an adult seeing 69 and pointing it out to a friend to share a chuckle, but without the adult material being part of the joke.
764 however is a very real, and very dangerous, criminal ring. Read up on it a little, and you’ll see. Just, don’t go too deep down the rabbit hole, for your own mental health
This is why I asked if anyone could clarify for me. Thank you for explaining in a more natural manor, the language used to write these proposals is often confusing for me.
With your clarification, it definitely seems to me like the protections in place should stay there. Maybe there are issues with some of these companies, but I don’t think removing these particular protections will change the issues I see, just stifle open speech.
