    What exactly is the benchmark for triggering an investigation? Child Gambling or just cartoons which say the ungodly word “taint”?

    Idk, depending on the context I might support this bill. If you need to have real quantifiable evidence of harm done to children then you should expect the authorities to come in and clean it up.

    Make sure your router has built-in VPN support folks. That way when some shit like this does eventually pass all your traffic can flow over the VPN for your entire network.

      Make sure to own your router, I’d say. Set you ISP router to modem mode and use OpnSense on a APU as router where you have full control. You can filter ads with adGuard and you can use wireGuard and openVPN to connect to a VPN provider as well as setting up an endpoint so you can protect yourself even on the go and even on locked up systems like iOS.

      Except, Apple does let some of their own packages not go through VPN, which is very shady, tho.

      This law seems to be aimed at taking down hosted content though, so you can connect over your VPN but the sites won’t be there to connect to, unless they move their hosting out of the USA. And even that might not be enough to protect US companies from being forced to take the content down if they want to survive.

      I’ve had this setup and would recommend but since I’ve switched from OpenVPN to Wiregaurd I’m getting constantly hit by cloud flare verification s and captchas… and my IP hasn’t changed once since. Wondering if that’s just the environment now or specific to me. Any readers’ experiences?

        Cloudfare sees a lot of traffic from a single ip and performs the checks you’re seeing to make sure it’s not malicious. Google will do the same, as will a number of other services.

        It’s the nature of a shared vpn service.

    It passed 91-3. Our representatives are ignorant dinosaurs who don’t understand the internet or how it works. I already contacted both my senators. I plan to contact my house members before they make this abomination into a law. I encourage everyone to do the same.

      They may not know how the interet works but they know exactly how manufactured hysteria works. Whenever the government says “Think of the children”, they’re trying to fool and exploit you. They don’t give a fuck about your children. Your children can’t vote.

    The US is a hostile place for online hosting. All small and medium businesses should move their operations out of the US. I did years ago, never looked back. Only the big ones with lobbiests will remain, just as our dear lord and saviour capitalism intended.
