  Good points. I’m not ignoring that possibility that this will affect the internet legally in the long run. I apologize if I appeared blissfully ignorant. Just was trying to help a hysteric deal with anxiety.

  Bruh, that is hysteria. But I’m serious: Mate, relax. Texas’ law is terrible, yes. But It’s not the end of the internet nor the end of the world. As long as you live everywhere else other than Texas, you are fine. There’s no need to get this hysterical.

  Josh Hawley’s just mad at Disney for not offering him a free party hat last year.

  Ok Edgelord. Just because we lost the battle doesn’t mean we should lose our sense of morality. Insurrection through mindless violence means we’d stoop down to their level. Meaning that we’d already lose.

  It’s obvious that these two states are exercising the right to ignoring anuses.

  The Court Ruling in a Nutshell

  The EU: (upset about how A. 17 is supposed to work) “Nothing’s working!” The EU court: “Wait (my fellow Europeans), we are not cavemen! We have technology…” The EU Court: proceeds to destroy computer. The EU States: “That didn’t work.”

  “Field Test turns Diesel into Meth…” This is like the Philosopher’s Stone, but lamer.

  Jesus… what the actual fuck?. Look I’still have PTSD about that whole clusterfuck and the profound effect it had on my anxiety. But wishing a 1/6th-style coup on the EU members who voted in favor of it and in Germany of all places is just so… irredeemable. The whole fiasco did cause me to lose faith on the EU, but not to the point of insurrection.

• On the post: Basically Everyone Tells Senators Tillis & Leahy That The SMART Copyright Act Is An Incredibly Dumb Copyright Act

  The SMART Copyright Act. More like is the STUPID Copyright Act.

  The Police of Cleveland, Ohio, once had a investigator division dedicated to reading ouiji boards but was canned due to the boards repeatedly displaying the message “Drink your Ovaltine.”

  Between this and the whole Jackson fiasco, I guess Ted Cruz is trying to earn the title of “Weenie of the Week.” I mean that wouldn’t be surprising for someone who’s the Zodiac Killer.

• On the post: White House Urges Companies To Protect Data From Russian Hacks With Encryption; While Congress Looks To Effectively Outlaw Encryption

  

  Cat_Daddy ( profile ), 23 Mar, 2022 @ 05:50pm

  Yeah, I guess. But it also (potentially and [un]intentionally) affects these: -The legal fabric of the Internet - Minorities who use the internet (I.e. LGBTQ, etc.) -First and Fourth Amendment Protections -Making it harder to catch actual CP offenders -the relation between websites, states, and the national level. -E2E Encryption -And of course, blowing a hole into Section 230 just because it’s easier to find scapegoats than it is to solve complex problems. But yeah, just data for third-party. Let’s go with that.

• On the post: Senators Leahy & Tillis To Team Up To Suggest Destroying The Internet For Hollywood’s Sake

  

  Cat_Daddy ( profile ), 21 Mar, 2022 @ 05:55pm

  Hard to tell, especially when the bill has just been introduced last week. So far, it has one cosponsor, unfortunately it’s a powerful one. Leahy is the Senate Pro Tempore, which, long story short, is the most influential member only second to the senate majority leader. There is a silver lining in that Leahy is retiring this year. So right now, due to how jam-packed this season is, I’m doubtful that it’ll pass… in 2022. This is a theory, but since Tillis isn’t up for re-election, passing SMART won’t be the priority, but releasing it earlier so that he could potentially reintroduce it in the future and have a greater chance to pass it thanks to clout. We’ve seen it with EARN-IT with it gaining seven extra cosponsors. But keep in mind, a better chance of passing doesn’t mean that it’ll automatically pass by default. So in other words, it won’t pass now, but potentially in the near future.

  Whoever thought this was a good idea probably has deep insecurities about their feminine hips.

• On the post: Ignoring EARN IT’s Fourth Amendment Problem Won’t Make It Go Away

  

  Cat_Daddy ( profile ), 11 Mar, 2022 @ 04:08pm

  … there are other things (COVID, inflation, budget, Russia/Ukraine…) on Congress’s plate. There are two things that Congress is notorious for. One is that they’re slow as a snail on molasses and two, they waste everyone’s time, including their own. It’s Congress’s curse and blessing. I sincerely hope that Earn It dies in the waiting room and stays dead.
