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.
"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
Trump is president and this is their priority?
Of course it is, what else would you expect from the controlled opposition party?
Why wouldn’t it be? People’s interests don’t bring in money
Sometimes I feel like democrats don’t actually care more about voters, they just care much more about appearances.
Idk man, that sounds like evidence based thinking to me, reported.
And rich people
Democrats: why won’t anyone vote for us?
Also Democrats: let’s be like the Republicans, they get so many votes! Let’s miss the entire point of democracy and just support large companies!
Because they want the big money donors more than they want to win. Their campaigns are above all designed to bring in money for the high-priced consultants.
Is the capability to block any website something the Democrats want to enable with for Trump to abuse?
Yes, then they can blame him for it but still get paid by the oligarchs who wanted the bill.
Seriously.
This is a shit shit back to front now.
Democrats once again losing on purpose.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Don’t settle for half measures.
Even out of power they still find a way to give hand jobs for industry donations and casually screw the public. I admire their energy.
These people were everyone’s hope? LMAO 🤣

If they are not blocking the access to the WHO.is servers you can get the IP address of the site and add it to your local hosts file.
Doesn’t the IP address change anyway?
Some do and some don’t. Even if the IP changes, the actual IP address will be shown on the WHOIS site. Alternatively, I am sure that the actual IP address of these sites is shared by non-American users on forums and other sites.
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.
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.
Cockroaches using the government to make oppressive laws. I think I’m still ancap.
Yes those government movie studios
This is some fascist (& not at all surprising) shit.
I’m missing the part where consumers are required to use their ISP DNS. I never do, in favour of CloudFlare DNS, Google DNS, etc
Whoever wrote this bill probably lacks the basic network skills to know you can do that.
@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.
Fuck. How bad is this…??
Is this going to take out VPNs as well?
