Yeah sure does but it threatens a lot more than just these communities. This will affect almost everyone and is a clear power grab to gain even more goverental control of online activity across the board. Children are often used as pawns for these types of bills. This is similar to the sesta/fosta nonsense.

It’s teen vogue. They’re trying to make kids interested. Don’t be dismissive, grandparent.

Yeah, I like it when they put out articles like this. Teen Vogue only occasionally gets political, and when they do, that's when the threat is pretty serious.
