    Ron Widen is cool, he was in favor of title 2 net neutrality, he’s against NSA spying and from what I understand he realizes that age verification is a cybersecurity risk to everyone

      Ron Wyden co-authored Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act in 1996, which protects internet platforms from being held liable for user-generated content. It’s a big reason that the internet exploded in popularity. We may need to revisit and increase regulation since seeing what social media became, but he’s had a pretty great track record.

        If he’s working with Ron Widen it means Ted Cruz has the correct position on free speech.

        Do you have any idea how many people on the internet make fun of Ted Cruz? Have you ever heard him say those people should be banned or censored?

          Raphael Cruz has a very obvious shame and humiliation kink, why would he complain? He gets to use the public to get his rocks.

      He also supports israel and as soon as last summer voted to send another shipment of assault rifles to Israeal that they have been handing out to settlers in the west bank.

      Wyden is not that good.

    Ted Cruz bent the knee to Trump and sucked the dick of the most pro-censorship regime in the history of the United States. He’s completely unqualified to fight censorship, and I wouldn’t trust a single thing that came out of that piece of shits mouth.
