#acta #pipa #sopa #chatcontrol and #ageVerification are just some of them. There's a neverending stream of attacks on the internet. We have to fend them off one by one.
What vulnerability allowed them to keep attacking? How to ultimately stop this barrage once and for all, how to win the war?

"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."

A proposed bill aims to bring site blocking to the United States. But, 13 years after SOPA/PIPA, how is this bill different?

CW: suicide, uspol
#AaronSwartz, brilliant 26-year-old Internet activist, co-creator of #Reddit and co-writer of the #RSS specification, committed #suicide twelve years ago yesterday.
In 2008 he helped defeat paywalled #PublicDomain case law; in 2012 #SOPA/ #PIPA; but after enduring 18 months of federal persecution for liberating public-domain articles from #JSTOR, he ended his own life.
If you feel hopeless, call 988.
If you supported bullying Aaron, may you burn in hell.

#USA #Censorship #MPA #Copyright #IP #Democracy #SOPA #PIPA: "Twelve years ago, internet users spoke up with one voice to reject a law that would build censorship into the internet at a fundamental level. This week, the Motion Picture Association (MPA), a group that represents six giant movie and TV studios, announced that it hoped we’d all forgotten how dangerous this idea was. The MPA is wrong. We remember, and the internet remembers.
What the MPA wants is the power to block entire websites, everywhere in the U.S., using the same tools as repressive regimes like China and Russia. To it, instances of possible copyright infringement should be played like a trump card to shut off our access to entire websites, regardless of the other legal speech hosted there. It is not simply calling for the ability to take down instances of infringement—a power they already have, without even having to ask a judge—but for the keys to the internet. Building new architectures of censorship would hurt everyone, and doesn’t help artists." https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/04/mpa-doesnt-get-decide-who-first-amendment-protects

Over twelve years later, I'm one of the last few people that still upholds the ideals of the #BlackMarch of 2012 against #SOPA and #PIPA by purchasing and viewing next to no copyrighted content... due to being strapped for money to be honest! http://web.archive.org/web/20120423070423/http://www.black-march.com/
