Lofgren’s bill would impose site-blocking requirements on broadband providers with at least 100,000 subscribers and providers of public domain name resolution services with annual revenue of over $100 million. The bill has exemptions for VPN services and “similar services that encrypt and route user traffic through intermediary servers”; DNS providers that offer service “exclusively through encrypted DNS protocols”; and operators of premises that provide Internet access, like coffee shops, bookstores, airlines, and universities.

Invest in VPN providers.

    Okay… And that helps anyone how? Where’s the other foot? I would like to help? I have a sledge hammer! C’mon don’t be shy.

    But, I got ideas! How about everyone who files for a patent has to give the Democratic party all their money or how autocorrect wants, all their monkey! That’ll show them!

    And how about everyone who goes to and graduates from college must serve a 30 year sentence? Fabulous!

    Need a car license? Just smash your car on this steel wall! Yey! So easy! So much better than racists!

    WTF! Put the thinking cap back on dudes!

    "Man we really got trounced in that election "

    “Yeah we should really work on our image”

    “Yeah. Oh I know! You know how everyone hated that tik tok ban?”

    “Yeah?”

    “Well what if that, but more!”

    “But people hated the ban…”

    “Oh right, no, the movie industry is paying us to do this.”

    “Oh why didn’t you just say so.”

    its uh, definitely one of the feelings of all time reading through threads like this, assuming these are actual real people, spending their actually real time, talking about these actually real things.

        99942 Apophis is scheduled to come visit for a near pass on Friday, April 13, 2029. It briefly held the highest rating of any object ever on the Torino scale when it was discovered 20 years ago. Another asteroid detected just last week is currently a Torino 3 but also won’t be here for 7 years and only has a 1.4% chance of striking Earth based on current observations.

          Can’t help but wonder if it’s bad luck if it hits us, or bad luck if it misses us at this point.

          (/s shit’s fucked but I still prefer getting missed)

    This somehow reads with the same energy as those “please don’t download scientific papers for free from <long list of websites>, that would be so terrible” posts.
