Opinion: Scary Story: Lindsey Graham and Elizabeth Warren want to run the internet
US Senator Elizabeth Warren is a school-marmish New England pseudo-liberal technocrat. US Senator Lindsey Graham is a Deep South pseudo-conservative militarist. They’ve staked out their respective stomping grounds in opposing wings of the American uni-party. So when they agree on something — anything at all — Katie bar the door. Trouble’s on the way, because while they might seem like political opposites, they share one overriding value in common: Both of them want to run your life.
The theoretical purpose of their “bipartisan” Digital Consumer Protection Commission Act is to “protect consumers, promote competition, secure Americans’ privacy, guard national security, and prevent harm online.” Its actual purpose is to put a pack of bureaucrats in charge of the Internet so you don’t get to see anything Warren and Graham think you shouldn’t see. Which, between the two of them, is probably pretty much everything .
Aside from the risible “Consumer Protection” claim, naturally, they justify their prospective power grab on a “for the children” basis: It’s not that they’re megalomaniacs, see, it’s that they’re against all the things everyone is against — “child sexual abuse material and sexual exploitation, human trafficking, drug trafficking, cyberbullying … eating disorders, addictive behaviors, and teen suicide.
