“(1) GENERAL DUTY.—In order to reduce the proliferation of the unlawful sale, distribution, or manufacture (as applicable) of counterfeit substances and certain controlled substances, a provider shall, as soon as reasonably possible after obtaining actual knowledge of any facts or circumstances described in paragraph (2), and in any event not later than 60 days after obtaining such knowledge, submit to the Attorney General a report containing—

“(A) the mailing address, telephone number, facsimile number, and electronic mailing address of, and individual point of contact for, such provider;

“(B) information described in subsection © concerning such facts or circumstances; and

“© for purposes of subsection (j), information indicating whether the facts or circumstances were discovered through content moderation conducted by a human or via a non-human method, including use of an algorithm, machine learning, or other means.

WTF? We’re gonna be required to narc on people struggling with addiction now, even if they’re trying to quit? That’s bad for everyone involved. I sure won’t be hosting nothing in the US again if this passes.

Paragraph 2 which it references does not include cases of possession or purchasing for personal use, so those people should be fine.

In practice, it’s impossible to determine the purpose of purchases. If someone talks about their experience of buying from a dealer without further context, you’d have to narc. Or, you open yourself up to legal liabilities.

Besides, people buy on behalf of others all the time. People share with others. Substance use is often not a solitary activity. This law would create a situation where it’s risky for you if you do not narc every time.

Valid points.

Noooo, AI mods and Admins on every platform will do it for you. You, as a mod, simply have to maintain plausible deniability that you were illiciting more details and not warning people about not sharing info.

You know, just like being trans - keep your questions about everything a secret or you’ll be arrested.
