Bill would help rightsholders obtain court orders to block foreign piracy sites.

    I love how the Republicans like to talk shit about China, then turn around and propose their own Great Firewall, cameras on every corner, and so on.

    And sure, the Democrats aren’t much better here, but these seem to be pushed more aggressively by the Republicans. Plus, for a party that claims to want less government, it’s very obvious that this goes against their brand.

      They only want the freedom to be able drain the bank accounts of their cattle constituents into the bank accounts of the oligarchs who own them.

    And who’s going to block all the freely available DNS servers, proxies and also TOR? 😆

    That’s just another piece of bullshit legislature to enact censorship measures in the name of some seemingly legit reason. You will never actually get rid of piracy sites with local ISP and DNS blocks. But the moment there is a procedure to easily make them happen, they can indeed be used to block the not tech-affine majority of people from news and information they should not see.

    And non-praising news outlets. But be calm. Not from the start. Eventually. In a year or something…

      Tor has been compromised for a while. Try I2P instead.
