For the folks who insisted that the (censorial, unconstitutional) Take It Down Act was necessary to punish Meta, and that those of us calling it out were "shills for big tech" Meta has always supported the bill, knowing it'll harm its smaller competitors. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do&cid=bafkreidn2rvhqtk7uxqltt4hgklmeapr6lwzoljssrzarl74pxofcqvq4i
