Isn’t it bizarre that there are some US states & local govs that put legal code behind #paywalls?

Why isn’t there outrage that people are bound by laws they do not have open and free access to? You must pay a fee to see the plumbing code. A lot of #law nationwide is jailed in #Cloudflare, so you don’t get access to the legal statutes if you are excluded by Cloudflare. If you want to read tax law, the #IRS website directly blocks Tor users.

I just now wanted to read the International Bill of #HumanRights on a highly ranked site: #humanrightscareers.com, & got swamped with popups, animated ads, & garbage that drained my data credit. This should not be a consequence of getting public legal code.

So what’s the solution?

Check all that apply.
