    It’s wild seeing a country do a fascist speedrun in real life. Like, we joke about it, but shit is speeding up.

      It is irritating me, frankly speaking. I sincerely want this country to tank beyond repair because they are literally an entire country of illiterate people spreading their illiteracy and evil around the world for decades, with nothing stopping them. I want the world to laugh at them, see them become a joke so bad that people stop using American Big Tech the same way USA has taught the world to hate Chinese and Russian platforms. Maybe it seems a little hateful but I see no wrong in atleast this much, considering the kind of shit I have to respond to on Reddit these days. I want them to feel everything they have made the world feel. I want to see every USA worshipping liberal cry on their knees and feel how correct people like us have been, and how deaf they are.

    This is very very bad, even for the US.

    Essentially, it says that the government is allowed to restrict anything on the internet that they don’t like. FOIA requests do not apply to this act, so you will never know what led to their decision, who made it, or what was done about it. Laws that prohibit lobbyists from working for the government also don’t apply, which means that lobbyists will have the ability to advise the government about what to restrict. Attempts to evade these restrictions, such as by using TOR or a VPN are prohibited, and punishable by a fine of up to $1M and/or up to 20 years in prison. Running a service that allows someone to evade these restrictions carries the same penalties, except that any revenue made in the process of doing so, along with any tangible or intangible property used to do so, becomes property of the US government. The government can also require services to log whatever data they want, and get those logs whenever they please.
