Joseph Gordon-Levitt is supporting The Heritage Foundation's tech policy agenda, boosting a proposed law by Lindsey Graham that would mass deplatform LGBTQ people and censor abortion content from the internet. And he's trying to frame it as progressive!

There was a Ring ad that everyone hated and an Alexa ad where the subtext is “everyone assumes this thing is trying to kill you” so I think they gotta rethink some shit over there.

Between Ring explaining their Big Brother surveillance network & Chris Hemsworth noting all the ways Alexa could try to kill him, I'm not sure Amazon is making a great case for using either.

it’s a honest take of our government.
we can’t trust them to do the right thing so we must always always pressure them.
why would you disengage when bad actors are selling us out to billionaire pedos?
