Let me guess another attempt to enforce encryption backdoor?
Yes. At the same time it weakens Section 230 in order to create additional free-speech weakening censorship opportunities.
So what are they giving themselves the right to censor? Or just making it technically possible to do it?
It’s in the last paragraph of the article. It basically creates an abusive-by-design DMCA-like system that effectively forces services providers to immediately remove anything reported, without cause or investigation (because it’s not feasible, again by design). This will allow conservatives to effectively bully anything they don’t like off the internet… and not just porn. Anything.
I don't think its fair to say just conservatives will abuse such a system anyone and everyone with an agenda to push will.
