Nearly everyone I know that saw this stuff turned out just fine

We do not need to turn society into a police state because we're afraid the next generation might not be able to handle what we handled fine for the most part

Edge cases should not dictate the removal of our freedom & rights

These bills are specifically exempting platforms that distributed the ISIS videos (like meta), and including platforms that did not.

apt-get install isis-beheading-vids doesn't work on any Linux distribution I've seen, and it's not like Microsoft or Apple were preloading them on laptops.

These bills have nothing to do with online safety. They exist purely to establish a police state (that will currently be run by a convicted felon with child abusers as deputies -- look at what ICE has been doing to the kids they round up, especially the pregnant ones).

"bills trying to fix it are bad" != "the problem doesn't exist"

if you agree that online safety problem exists then suggest better solution. if you disagree then keep on living in a fantasy world

Pretty sure Vlad the Impaler, Hitler, etc. did worse things to people than anything any of us saw on the internet. So, should we censor history books?

[throwaway290]

I think you underestimate what people can see on the internet

And history books present this in different context. They don't show a literal video of this execution and talk about it with a different goal in mind. Like if you get a drug in clean room for necessary medical purpose vs inject yourself dirty needles under the bridge because you like it, different things
