It does look like the âlegislative proposalâ that Sacks and Kratsios have been tasked with creating is supposed to exempt child safety laws. But that isnât the part of the EO that anyoneâs concerned about. A legislative proposal is just a proposal. It doesnât do anythingâitâs
This latter section is important. If you read statements about this EO that say things like it âthreatens state safeguards for kidsâ or such, you know either they havenât actually read the EO or they are willfully ignoring what it says. Either way, you can ignore them.

1. Hello. Today's court decision killing the FTC's monopoly case against Meta is so sad and funny. The enshittification of every single Meta product somehow convinced the judge that Meta shouldn't be broken up. Lol, lmao. A quick thread.
