A new bill sponsored by Sen. Schatz (D-HI), Sen. Cotton (R-AR), Sen. Murphy (D-CT), and Sen. Britt (R-AL) would combine some of the worst elements of various social media bills aimed at “protecting the children” into a single law.

While I don't support bills like this from the gvmt, I wouldn't mind if more social media companies had the mindset of The Well's "you own your own words" where everyones real identity is used.
