“(1) GENERAL DUTY.—In order to reduce the proliferation of the unlawful sale, distribution, or manufacture (as applicable) of counterfeit substances and certain controlled substances, a provider shall, as soon as reasonably possible after obtaining actual knowledge of any facts or circumstances described in paragraph (2), and in any event not later than 60 days after obtaining such knowledge, submit to the Attorney General a report containing—
“(A) the mailing address, telephone number, facsimile number, and electronic mailing address of, and individual point of contact for, such provider;
“(B) information described in subsection © concerning such facts or circumstances; and
“© for purposes of subsection (j), information indicating whether the facts or circumstances were discovered through content moderation conducted by a human or via a non-human method, including use of an algorithm, machine learning, or other means.

Lolz. Didn’t Trump just pardon Ross Ulbricht?
What a joke.
WTF? We’re gonna be required to narc on people struggling with addiction now, even if they’re trying to quit? That’s bad for everyone involved. I sure won’t be hosting nothing in the US again if this passes.
Noooo, AI mods and Admins on every platform will do it for you. You, as a mod, simply have to maintain plausible deniability that you were illiciting more details and not warning people about not sharing info.
You know, just like being trans - keep your questions about everything a secret or you’ll be arrested.
Paragraph 2 which it references does not include cases of possession or purchasing for personal use, so those people should be fine.
In practice, it’s impossible to determine the purpose of purchases. If someone talks about their experience of buying from a dealer without further context, you’d have to narc. Or, you open yourself up to legal liabilities.
Besides, people buy on behalf of others all the time. People share with others. Substance use is often not a solitary activity. This law would create a situation where it’s risky for you if you do not narc every time.
Valid points.
Lol go fuck yourselves. I smell some massive hypocrisy.
The bill suggests that violations may be “discovered through content moderation conducted by a human or via a non-human method, including use of an algorithm, machine learning, or other means.” Automated snooping on people’s private correspondence should constitute unlawful search. Fuck that.
Holy fuck.
Basically, if you’ve ever posted anything about a controlled substance online, the new Palantir - powered super-surveillance state will hold that data until it’s ready to either use it to fuck you harder, or as all they need to fuck you if they don’t like you.
No (at least not per the language of the act) . Paragraph 2 which it references does not include cases of possession or purchasing for personal use, or personal use itself etc. You have to have spoken about specifically making or selling fentanyl, meth, or prescription pain meds or stimulants (and falsely claiming to be a doctor).
…For now.
Trump does a ton of drugs! I know a guy who'd been at parties where he personally witnessed Donald snorting huge, fat lines of cocaine. That's not even counting all of the crack he'd smoke. Enough to kill a horse. He'd send out his people and they'd come back with just pounds of cocaine and crack.
What he really like, though, was Angel Dust. Man, that guy could put away epic amounts of Angel Dust, and then he'd stumble around the room groping anything with legs. I heard that when Donald Trump was on a dust binge he'd break out his stash of the child pornography, drop trou and just start wacking it there in front of everybody. Christ, Donald Trump loves his angel dust and child pornography.
That's what I heard.
Big piece of this is paragraph 2 referenced, which reads:
“(2) FACTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES.—The facts or circumstances described in this paragraph are any facts or circumstances establishing that a crime is being or has already been committed involving—
“(A) creating, manufacturing, distributing, dispensing, or possession with intent to manufacture, distribute, or dispense—
“(i) fentanyl; or
“(ii) methamphetamine;
“(B) creating, manufacturing, distributing, dispensing, or possession with intent to manufacture, distribute, or dispense a counterfeit substance, including a counterfeit substance purporting to be a prescription drug; or
“© creating, manufacturing, distributing, dispensing, or possession with intent to manufacture, distribute, or dispense an actual or purported prescription pain medication or prescription stimulant by any individual or entity that is not authorized, which includes an individual or entity that falsely claims to be a practitioner.
So is this all about pharma profits then?
annnnnd it’s bipartisan
The worst bills in the US Congress are always supported by both parties, I suspect so there is no way to vote against them.
Oh no, we will have to encourage everyone to use end to end encrypted communications and help encourage good opsec skills
Hmm how long until Hollywood sees this and demands the same of anyone discussing engaging in online piracy?
Also an interesting thought. What if this isn’t actually meant to get all drug producers or users talking online but the companies? This could be meant to be used as a threat and a sledgehammer against the tech companies. Basically they pass this, let them rack up not reporting anything for months, years, then come and hit them with a lawsuit demanding internal moderation logs and data and threaten to rake them over the coals for thousands of built up violations BUT then they offer to instead drop all that in exchange for them changing their moderation policies in a certain political way to suit the administration and some token reforms to address the law which won’t be scrutinized further if they comply with the political censorship wants.
