“A good step to catching up with the world while protecting consumer rights and adhering with non interference with the economy.”

Amish League
Voted Feb. 21, 2021
Yes

“Though we forbid the use of the Internet except by our English hired helpers, we believe that the most detestable of content should be allowed on their devices, that they may feel shame and see the error of their ways. At the same time, we wish no physical or fiscal harm on the English, and so Article II is also acceptable.”
