It's basically the people in power trying to sneak by online censorship, and LGBT groups and human rights groups are STAUNCHLY against this. It’s a bill that’s being framed as being about “protecting children”, but a lot of the info from various human rights/online privacy groups like ACLU are saying that not only does it fail to protect children from exploitation, it also removes encryption from the internet, making privacy nonexistent. If it passes, there’s a high chance that LGBT and racial content will be targeted and censored, since this bill is being supported by an anti-LGBT hate group called NCOSE. Anything that the government doesn’t agree with could be scrubbed out using private companies as proxies, and mature content removed. This bill is blatantly anti-free speech, and it’s not getting enough attention since they're trying to keep it under the radar and sneak it by. Here is a quick summary of what the bill is most likely designed to do, despite their claims of dealing with Child Safety online: - there’s a high chance that LGBT and racial content will be targeted and censored, since the bill is being pushed by a known Hate Group called NCOSE (formerly known as Morality in Media). - it will remove encryption from the internet, making privacy nonexistent. All of your private messages/anything will no longer be private. - making the internet (And the United States for that matter) much less secure against hackers, foreign entity attacks, thus also making this bill an impending national security nightmare for the USA on TOP of being invasive. - And (ironically), not only making the internet LESS safe for kids, but also making the internet and government less able to deal with child and sexual predators. By letting third parties spy on kids' most private thoughts and photos, they are basically making it much easier for child abuse to occur, making it much easier for predators online to find and target these kids. And by forcing websites to become state actors and collect CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material), they basically make that evidence completely inadmissible in court. Which means that sexual predators are more likely to run free. In other words, not only does this bill destroy online privacy and give power to a hate group and a government that wants to control and censor ANY content on the internet, it utterly fails to even protect the kids that it claims to help, which defeats the supposed intent of the bill entirely. But it gets worse: If this bill passes and is signed into law, the people in charge can use this as an excuse to censor and silence any activism they deem to be against their interests. INCLUDING US. If they get this act through, people like them will abuse this in order to censor ANYTHING that goes against what the hate groups and the government want. BLM activism? GONE. LGBT activism and content online? GONE. Online privacy? GONE. Abuse Survivors Speaking Out Safely? GONE. Activism Against Dictatorships across the world? GONE. I can't stress enough just how TERRIBLE this bill really is, and while searching the following hashtags (#EarnItAct #StopTheEARNITAct2022 #STOPTHEEARNITACT #StopTheEARNITAAct2022) will show people being aware of it, we still need more awareness to be spread so that more people will realize how dangerous this bill really is. The hashtags above on Twitter will show just how strong the opposition is, and the following Discord link will lead you to a server that has more resources and to figure out a means to combat this bill. https://discord.gg/44vYfQNUxX So I’m begging you, take this seriously. Call your Senators. Fax them, email them, petition them. Tell them they MUST oppose this bill, and for Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, to NOT allow this bill to reach the Senate Floor. There is a script being passed around that might help: The ANTI-Earn IT Act Call Script For Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and Other Senators

Well, there's been alot of negativity lately about Episode 2. So this is a topic to talk about all the positive things about the game, how much you're hyped for it, and what other good things you're hoping for in it. So for starters: I am hyped about the Online Multiplayer for the game. (I've been mentioning that alot haven't I =P) Mostly because now I can play a new Sonic game with Multiplayer in the Main Story again. =D Although I don't talk much about them, Graphics for the game look great. Level themes are vibrant, can't wait to see them all, especally that Oil Desert Level. o3o So that's what I have to say for starters, what do you all think? Anything in particular you're excited for? =D

So this topic is about how you would have online multilayer in a Sonic game. Anything about or relating to that can go here. I shall now give my two cents: I think it would be awesome to have a Sonic Simulator-like thing (bear with me here), but it goes something like this: You and the other players pick a Robo-Sonic (ala Sonic Colours), then some sort of VR-style loading screen (showing the Sonic Simulator "loading" the level, which, by the way, would be an actual in-game level and not a Sonic-Simulator-esque one), and then a online multiplayer race would ensue! It would be pretty cool also to have some battle maps for multiplayer, online or off (not quite sure how that would go though). Discuss!
