We're starting to see what, to me, looks like a terrifying image of the future.

How they're going to shut down free speech, how they're going to shut down entire websites

and justify doing so.

Recently, two bills were passed, FOSTA and SESTA.

The goal of these bills is to help the government fight online sex trafficking and prostitution.

And that sounds pretty noble, right?

However, almost immediately after the passage of these bills, several different portions

of different websites were shut down.

For instance, Reddit took down several subreddits and Craigslist, the largest online

classifieds ads in the US, took down their entire personal section.

Now we've seen it taken one step further.

The US government has actually seized a website.

Backpage.com, the second largest classifieds in the US, was seized by the US government.

When we look at how the media is reporting this, it actually worries me the way they're

framing the narrative, the way they're justifying, taking down, and tire-webbing.

Websites, all under the guise of protecting children.

That bell means you want YouTube to let you know when I publish videos, because believe

it or not, even if you subscribe, YouTube is not going to tell you I published a new

video.
