Are we officially living in an Orwellian “1984” dystopia? The bill, drafted by state Senator Kevin Parker and Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, would give state officials the ability to review up to three years worth of internet search history, reports WKBW Buffalo. Providing more information on the newly-drafted bill, Rochester First is reporting that the search history will come from major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing. Also, anyone applying for, or renewing a pistol permit would have to give up all login information, including passwords, for any social media sites they”re a part of. Posts from the past three years on sites like Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat would be reviewed for language containing slurs, racial/gender bias, threats and terrorism. “There should be more restrictions on how guns are purchased. We should have more background checks,” Paul McQuillen, director of the Buffalo chapter of New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, told WKBW. “We”ve obviously seen some of the mass shooters have a social media history that should have sent red flags,” McQuillen added.
