(Daily Signal)—Today’s push for a 10-year artificial intelligence moratorium has been framed in legislation as a “temporary pause” on state AI and algorithmic regulation. Proponents claim this is necessary to prevent “an unworkable patchwork of disparate and conflicting state AI laws” and preserve America’s lead over China in AI.
But this ignores a more immediate and dangerous reality: The moratorium would unnecessarily paralyze the most promising and urgently needed online reforms in America today—those designed to protect children online.
Over the past two years, states have led the nation in passing innovative laws to combat various exploitative uses of AI like deepfake child sexual abuse imagery or manipulative recommendation algorithms. Thirty-eight states have updated their child sexual abuse material laws to include AI-generated content.
If the moratorium becomes law, though, the remaining 12 states would be blocked from enacting similar protections if they accept new or reobligated Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program funding—a $42.45 billion program all 50 states submitted proposals for funding from.
Perhaps even more concerning, all 50 states could be barred from enforcing existing laws under the same conditions.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
