db0The Motion Picture Association will work with Congress to start blocking piracy sites in the US
MamaVomit [he/him]Our firewall: Good and just
“Great Firewall of China”: Bad and scary
Why is this what we take from China, and not high speed rail (rhetorical)
AatubeThe GFW blocks a lot more than just illegal movie sites
EmpricornIsn’t that exactly what their point is?
Yes. Today piracy, tomorrow “subversive” content like unionization.
ShaggySnacksIt may not be next President/Congress or the one after that. However there will be a President/Congress that decides to broaden the firewall to “protect us”.
Remember 45’s AG , wanted to ban encryption?
No, however I can imagine the reason why.
I don't get it
RobotToasterWe’re gonna build a (fire)wall, a big beautiful (fire)wall.
Unruffled [they/them]“Our” firewall: fucked, if ever implemented. probably won’t ever be.
“Great Firewall of China”: massively fucked, already implemented.
Yours is a false equivalence. The only people suggesting it’s “good and just” are the MPA and other copyright trolls.
Yep. Peak Hexbear moment
And of course, three more of them show up to dogpile the person responding
And chime in with “but muh tiktok.”
Anything to beat the horse that china > US.
anarchoilluminati [comrade/them]The only people suggesting it’s “good and just” are the MPA and other copyright trolls.
No shit?
BeamBrain [he/him, they/them]The only people suggesting it’s “good and just” are the MPA and other copyright trolls.
Whole lot of people on board with banning Tiktok, though.
WashedAnus [he/him]Love to live in a thriving democracy where what the average citizen wants is prioritized by the government instead of what corporations want. This will pass. The only constituency of the American government is capital.
TC_209 [he/him, pup/pup's]This post explaining why the Motion Picture Association and Congress will work together to start blocking piracy sites in the US had no business being in a thread about how the Motion Picture Association and Congress will work together to start blocking piracy sites.
DengistDonnieDarko [none/use name]Come on man, give them some slack, you know they didn’t click on the link, theres no way they could’ve possibly known what the post was about.
Pathetic, deleting comments critical of your moderation.
I can’t think of something more on-topic in a thread about American industry lobbying than a study by Princeton, published in a reputable journal, specifically on the topic of lobbying of the American government by industry.
“Unruffled” indeed.
