Wonderful game being played with the word "online". Remove that word and the meaning is crystal clear. The First Amendment is now fully in the crosshairs. A people who are not free to think (which is what speech is) are not free. The decision has been made. The power brokers want to end freedom in the country which came closest to allowing it.

Nothing is perfect, and the US was never perfectly free. Relative to the others, however, it came closer than anywhere else for the number of people who live here. There are other countries which had equal or more freedom (Switzerland, for example), but they didn't offer it at the scale of the U.S., the world's third largest country by population with astounding ethnic, religious, and racial diversity.

That obviously doesn't work for control freak sociopaths, and they are now quite clear they want this ended, yesterday.
