Democrat teams up with movie industry to propose website-blocking law

I'm not sure where the fuck you've been hiding but Net Neutrality got struck down when we voted Fascists into power, so maybe cool it with blaming the dems for that one, pal.

[killingtimeitself@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

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.

From California? Hmmm... Why would a representative from California put forward such a bill?

[dragontypewyvern@midwest.social]

I'm only blaming the Dems that support and author it.

@SquiffSquiff @some_guy They do that here to some degree. ISP's DNS give a shitty warning about pirating if you try to visit any of the normal places for that kind of thing. Personally i just use a local DNS over HTTPS server. Which reminds me I need to see if he/she would like a donation.

Is the capability to block any website something the Democrats want to enable with for Trump to abuse?

[douglasg14b@lemmy.world]

Seriously.

This is a shit shit back to front now.

"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."

On the one hand, more Dems voted no on tiktok ban

On the other hand, you can bet any bipartisan bill is not in the interest of the American people

[lightnsfw@reddthat.com]

Yes, then they can blame him for it but still get paid by the oligarchs who wanted the bill.

[finitebanjo@lemmy.world]

But you should clarify you want people to vpte for them anyways because any Democrat is better than any Republican.

Just use a VPN service at that point. VPNs also have the upside of your ISP not being able to see you visiting piracy websites.

[fmt99@lemmy.world]

In a democracy, when you're not in power what do you do to get that power back? You show the electorate that you're fighting for what they think is important. If Democrats absolutely insist on business as usual, promoting corporate interests and occasionally pausing to shout "fascist" at Trump, all the while just plain ignoring people's actual concerns we're going to lose the next election and the next one.

[finitebanjo@lemmy.world]

Democrat*

Singular, in this case.
