But they can make up excuses for their arsenal for whenever they want to ban a site they don’t like from common eyes.

“It was banned because it was pornography”

“It was banned because it was displaying pirated content”

“It was banned because it harmed the public good”

They want control over what the common people can see, hear, say, and think.

Yeah, but for every dictator there’s countless intelligent revolutionaries. Especially when it comes to the internet.

They’re really shooting themselves in the foot trying to deny us/force overcharge the very thing they use to make us complacent in the first place: media.

If they were smart they’d ignore this bill. It would just bring attention to their attempt to essentially seize the internet and for what? For us just to get around it again anyway?

Not to mention if they enforce US VPNs to conform it’ll just result in more currency leaving the country. No wonder this fucking floundering economy is all our fault.

Governing is like holding a marble to the table with your thumb. The more you press down, the more likely that marble is to shoot out and break your shit.

It’s good to know I’m not the only one who thinks this way. That marble analogy is on point. The US is built on mutually beneficial structures. When one cabal of structures starts targeting others, the functionality of the whole country flounders and rebellion is legitimized.
