  From the article…

  Yet, despite an overseas focus, Americans won’t be able to avoid the proposal’s requirements, which covers CDNs, virtual private servers, proxies, and domain name resolution services, among others.

    I was thinking of using this comment to train my for-profit LLM, but now that I see the licensing agreement, I know I will never be able weather the prolonged court battles.

      Honestly at this point it’s more about just reading the replies from people who get bent out of shape about seeing that link, than actually protecting myself from bots. It’s almost like a strange internet Rorschach test.

    This is basically nationally enforced “security through obscurity” which is dumb as fuck.

      This is more of a privacy failure than a security failure. I don’t see how purchasing services via an alias could be considered security

  It’s really funny how big states today have solved the problem of public outrage at wholesale censorship and surveillance, simply by doing it 10 times slower than all those goosestepping predecessors.

    Definitely. Just take one tiny step at a time. No one will notice and it all just seems normal: “It’s always been like that.” No, it hasn’t always been like that. The tiny steps got you to the same place, it just took longer.

      The saddest thing is, the bad people are the ones who fight back (in their minds.)

    That's the same method politicians have done to get controversial bills passed. Because they know they can't pass something like "ANNEX AMERICAN PRIVACY ACT" right there out in the open. It'll get shot down. Political suicide just to get it on the docket.

    But if they do just enough bills that pass to make people think things are going okay, when we least expect it, they'll lump it in the next big budget bill and it'll become law. Then we'll all go "Huh, wha?" before we know it.

    I mean, that's how the Patriot Act has passed.

  This only applies to the big datacenter providers. Plenty of ways to make this a non-issue.
