  1. The BEARD Act, FADPA & new ID laws aren’t just about piracy, they’re building the tools for mass censorship. VPNs, Tor, even anime sites could be next.

  5. Oh look! The government is trying to suppress free speech under the premise of stopping piracy! Who could have predicted this!

  7. "More than a decade ago, Congress tried to pass SOPA and PIPA—two sweeping bills that would have allowed the government and copyright holders to quickly shut down entire websites based on allegations of piracy. The backlash was immediate and massive. Internet users, free speech advocates, and tech companies flooded lawmakers with protests, culminating in an “Internet Blackout” on January 18, 2012. Turns out, Americans don’t like government-run internet blacklists. The bills were ultimately shelved.

    Thirteen years later, as institutional memory fades and appetite for opposition wanes, members of Congress in both parties are ready to try this again.

    The Foreign Anti-Digital Piracy Act (FADPA), along with at least one other bill still in draft form, would revive this reckless strategy. These new proposals would let rights holders get federal court orders forcing ISPs and DNS providers to block entire websites based on accusations of infringing copyright. Lawmakers claim they’re targeting “pirate” sites—but what they’re really doing is building an internet kill switch.

    These bills are an unequivocal and serious threat to a free and open internet. EFF and our supporters are going to fight back against them."
