Being the guy who signed the bill that threatens the existence of a platform that is super popular with young people whose vote he desperately needs during an election year. Masterful gambit, sir!

Literally my first thought... Way to go Biden, nothing like getting hundreds of thousands of "influencers" mad at you right at an important election...

But who are we kidding, I can guarantee that maybe 5% of Congress even understood what they were doing.

There's a reason why the bill doesn't go into effect until after the election.
