This bill is a joke! It's supposed to protect intellectual property, but all it does is give more power to big corporations. It's just another way for them to control what we can and can't do online. This bill is a threat to our freedom and needs to be stopped. We need to stand up against this kind of government overreach before it's too late. #StopHR5048 #ProtectOurRights
