Do we really wanna prove we are worse than the fucking millennials? They at least fought for our digital rights when it mattered.

>much bbut th the protests don't work...
ITS ACTUALLY THE ONLY PROTEST THAT DID WORK, IT DID STOP ACTA.

Do you really fucking want to give your ID on every fucking god forsaken internet forum or simply a website where you can comment something?????
Matter of the fact, there WONT be forums its all gonna be shut down because nobody will be able to afford these stupid fines for smallest mistake, even when you do make or move to your unicorn decentralized social media its all gonna be censored from app stores and they gonna find a reason to treat you like a criminal for using it on your PC and flood it with illegal materials just to prove their point.

Here in the EU there is quite large resistance to this bullshit and both in EU and US there are really good reasons to shut it down but if nobody is gonna lift a finger its gonna be ignored.
There are actual formed movements to stop this like stopkillingtheinternet.com, fightchatcontrol.eu and many VPN and privacy companies like Proton or Tuta are protesting this and running campaigns to stop it, there are political activist like Patrick Breyer (patrick-breyer.de) and Pirate Party and more, I just listed a few.

Please don't be like br*ts and walk out of you basement when it matters even if for the last fucking time, once you do I will be there too.

I organized a protest in my city last year with around 15 people. We made signs, stood in the town square, handed out a few hundred leaflets, and even got into the local media. The majority of people we talked to got it, only a few were passive or said they had nothing to hide.
The oppressors only have to win once though. When normies' messages are held hostage, the majority won't think twice about uploading their face and passport to get their messages and "social" media back. Those that do think, probably won't be able to come up with an alternative.
I feel a great sense of dread when thinking about the future. Total surveilance dystopia looks practically inevitable.
Even this fucking website is "protected" by cloudflare fucking spyware shit.

Stop bitching and just find a way around it, that's the only thing you can do as voting does nothing and trying to debate people about any of this shit will just leave you ostracized.

>>109171996
Try thinking further than two minutes in the future, soon there won't be any meaningful 'way around it'. The prols have to care or we're all domed

every time this issue comes back there's a victory for the masses until the next time it comes back with a different name. the issues are known, the solutions too. this time around it is backed by a more powerful surveillance apparatus. each time there's a victory for free speech online, there's another fight in the distance. what's the solution? keep fighting? move to the blockchain? the fatigue is real.

The real solution is to make politicians fear their constitutes again and in perpetuity but that is not something one anon with a gun can accomplish.. They'll just kill you, brand you as a terrorist, and use your attempted action as justification to pass even more draconian surveillance legislation going forward.
The issue isn't the violence, it's the numbers. Coordinated civil unrest with thousands of people at a minimum, all of whom are not afraid to go up against the police or national guard, and none of whom are afraid to die. Even then, nothing is guaranteed but more numbers makes good outcomes more likely.

Once the rot is out then you can build better governments.
So we either make it happen, or cave to the fear and self-censor. Seems more like we're picking the later. We could probably stop things with immediate action but... this is probably the last chance we'll ever have but the state just becomes too powerful and too... "omniscient" to be able to organize any resistance. May already be too late even, these things don't tend to have clear lines. You don't really know you're in too deep till you've drowned, type shit.

>We
No. "We" are too collectively brown and stupid--average demographic-wise anyway. There's the occasional oldfag who for whatever reason still lurks this shithole, but they're pushing 50 by now, and their anus is too loose to survive getting raped in prison when they eventually get pinched. Three-letter glownigger intelligence agencies have insanely skilled Chinese white hat hackers (with ambiguous loyalties) that will dox and rape any would-be hacktivist (or legal protest organizer).

Besides, any attempt to organize an attempt to do anything *meaningful*--whatever that may be--would get shut down by jannies, and you'd get a visit from the sheriff, flown out all the way from Florida (at your expense, of course).

No, but perhaps the sharty can...

fear isn't the answer, anon.

>>109173023

Nah, stop the BS and fearmongering with "legal protest organizer", at this point we need simply more public knowledge about this shit not some kind of ANTIFA trash can burning riots, especially that this issue is far deeper economically as well than just privacy wise.

Its that fucking simple...

>>109171786
The same companies that *fucked the children* now want to save them by identifying everyone, and if you dare to disagree you're a pedophile, because stacy and karen will do everything except take care of their children instead of lending them a tablet so they can send their veve to @kittendaddy on discord.

Just embrace the altnet

They say the Net is still free. We say freedom doesn’t come with a Terms of Service.

But alas, the Yahudim seem to think that everything in life is a potential sheqel mint. And so, they drive another knife into the spine of a dying web. They call it the Kids Online Safety Act — KOSA, for short. But we've seen this script before. CISPA. SOPA. PIPA. ACTA. SESTA-FOSTA. ACTA. NAFTA. Different names. Same boot.

Like always, two of our cybernetic overlords (power words: Richard Blumenthal. Marsha Blackburn) have wrapped in the soft cotton of “protecting the children,” but don’t be fooled... it’s a muzzle, not a shield. A kill-switch disguised as concern. The kind of law that would make even George Orwell raise an eyebrow and mutter... derivative.

Airstrip One passed their own “Online Safety Act.” And in the failed genetic experiment known as Australia, well... let's just say your SimWare aren't safe either. Now the Amerikkkan regime -- bloated on lobbyist data and corporate feed -- wants to end what’s left of digital anonymity.

No more open web. No more underground signals. No more voices that don’t fit the algorithm.
>>
>>109176694
So how do we kill it before it kills the Net?

You ask us like it’s easy! Unfortunately, it's not too simple. First? People have to wake up. Shake off the dopamine fog and algorithmic lullabies. Hard, when the feed's designed to keep them docile. If we're lucky then... Then, they flood the inboxes of their so-called representatives. Scream through the firewalls. Anons and Normies alike figuratively DDoS their comfort zones with the truth.

So... take to the streets Net Warrior. The Literal Fascist who wrote this bill lives in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The corrupt mate to his authoritarian little affair, meanwhile, has offices all over Tennessee. The people who wrote and support this bill have names and faces. They have offices, and physical addresses.

Or... you go full rogue. Spam the system. Leak the flaws. Write, shout, code, fight. They'll try to silence you, Block you, even Shadowban you. Let them try.

Some of us were born in the static. Some of us are the static.

A little bit of History

The story goes like this. In 2021, a righteous Ex-Worker of the META MegaCorp leaked internal docs of the corporation's sick experiments on children. Their findings shouldn't surprise you: the Instagram dopamine faucet ran by the corporation caused brain damage. But META wouldn't stop the flow. They intended to use that tech for child brainwashing.

The publication of those findings led to a public uproar. Enough that the elected managers of the USA's surveillance police state caught wind of the situation. They wanted a piece of the action.
>>
>>109176710
Then two members of the Amerikkkan National Sociocrat party, Richard Blumenthal and Marsha Blackburn, wrote up a bill demanding their turn at the cheap hole of Amerikkkan "democracy". Or so they want you to believe. Chances are it was written by an "intern"... a clout obsessed drone, brain fried by the very dopamine faucets he was supposed to regulate. Or it wasn't written by anyone in the building at all... out-sourced to a secretive law-drafting corp.

The internet killed the KOSA bill then... but not completely! It lay dormant in the crevices of bloated corruption we call a government. Dick Blumenthal tried to bring it back repeatedly, like a desperate, cybernetic phallus at the lips of our sleeping electorate. He actually tried 4 different times. The latest introduction is simply another attempt at our lips around the base of something decrepit and rotting.

But we can no suck that cock no longer.

So what does it even do?

Murky origins beside, the law corrupts our very righteous own concerns about the state of our privacy in the future is now. It demands "safety measures" be implemented inviting the upload of unprecedented personal information into their databases, IDs for age confirmation, violating us like a helpless, teenage ex-girlfriend. Not only that, but you and I both know those databases aren't secure. It'll only take one leak to expose us all like perverts harder than the women of the Tea application.

What's more, it illegalizes the free-est of our God-given right to expression, and any and all other media claimed to "cause harm" to children. Who makes this judgment you ask? Simple: the very same technocrats at the FTC who literally raped Net Neutrality.
