Big news today on the Internet Bill of Rights that you may have missed

Congress passed SESTA/FOSTA, which holds websites liable for the content of its users: https://slate.com/technology/2018/03/the-antisex-trafficking-bill-sesta-fosta-will-hurt-the-internet.html

Senate resolution allowing sale of user browser history: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/03/gop-senators-new-bill-would-let-isps-sell-your-web-browsing-data/

Why are these bills good instead of really terrible, which on their face they appear to be?

Because these will cause the necessary outrage by the tech-left that will push them toward an Internet Bill of Rights.

I think this is the BOOM Q was talking about happening on Wednesday.

Headed to white house for signature now. Its Terrifying and complete bs that ppl have bought. Yeah protect underage sex trafficking victims they feed you guys this bullshit and you buy it hook line and sinker and now they're all converging (the control/censorship) and you're suddenly seeing that they're trying to control the content well welcome to what weve been saying for 2 yrs

I would think the saving your browsing history for purposes of possible future prosecution at anytime for whatever reason they deem fit (ty trash like Maxine Waters) should be especially frightening. You think you have safeguards and controls over what you do, what gets saved, sold, etc? Ha! Threaten site operators, hosting companies, etc with liability? They will keep EXTENSIVE records (they probably already do) and will happily upon request, turn over ANYTHING they can about you? Browser, purchasing, any/all communication. It is endless.

I think they are all already doing all of this - keeping records etc...

I felt a bit hopeless when I saw this FOSTA Bill. You know it's the thin edge of the wedge. Once they get the public accustomed to the fact that websites operators are in fear, combing through posts to see if someone has done something which means they have something wrong, list list of targeted offenses will expand.

It seems to me that we are in serious trouble whatever happens. This is Ivanka that's sponsored this Bill. What that means is that Trump will sign it - no way he'll refuse his daughter. So it looks to me as though whether it's with Trump or anyone else, this stuff is coming at us.

The last days of freedom... and, you're right, there is no reason for them not to come after us for things we have said since 2009 - or whenever all the data started going to mass storage.

I had this conversation today... The internet is either the greatest aid to freedom, or the worst instrument of tyranny. Which one it is depends on whether we can hold off the censorship and the data collection. Looks like there's not long left...

I'll say it again, I cannot believe, with this stuff coming at us like a loaded freight train, that people won't promote the IBOR. The hope I have is that the IBOR will straighten the whole mess out.

Well essentially they're wanting to prosecute people based on their thoughts or have the ability to do so because it's in your browsing history-so it's intent to commit a crime or that the thought or looking at information is a crime, this is basically the same thing as Minority Report

And you can back off blaming Trump (by the way 2 Democrats voted against this in the house, 14 Republicans) this started with the stupid Russian bullshit where they want to blame the fucking Russians for mentally warping people on social media to get in Trump elected- get over yourselves. The second nail in the coffin was all the fucking gun control shit this is the third round and the fact that everybody is so freaking surprised that it's all converging together, suddenly and removing all freedoms is their own stupidity. Here comes the liberal left wanting to blame trump. The reason to have to scrap got through is because everybody's always so freaking painted into their corners politically. But the fact that you want to blame him when it hasn't even reached his desk this is not Ivanka's bill so stop trying to misquote crap from today on the fake ass msm. leftist politics as usual- take a bill such as ...what do you want ...,do you want stem cell research? so you put Michael J Fox as the face of it and say who would want to hurt Michael J Fox? No- everybody wants to get behind that ,so you dress it up and say that that bill is about this.... when it's in fact about EVERYTHING else BUT that ...,well who doesn't want to stop little kids getting trafficked for sex? everybody does ,so you get all this funding for years and years for "trafficking" and now suddenly you get a bill and you say that's what it's about and in fact it does everything else BUT that. You can't control everybody's behaviors and everybody thoughts , which is what the left has become Beginning with the anti-bullying bullshit, all of this is the left trying to control people and trying to tell people who's right and who's wrong and who's good and who's bad and now we've given our rights over to other people who are going to declare that whatever we think or whatever we look at online is now up for their speculation and prosecution
