Is this more like tabacco for some reason? Why do we accept sugar and not tabacco?

Here we go again with the Kids Online Safety Act. The problem is enforcing anti-trust and ending citizen united. They are just using this to increase the surveillance state.

Interesting mix of active and passive language in the headline. He covered up that he knew? He covered up that the kids were being hurt?
