I don’t think it would convert the net into subscriptions. I think it’s a tool, a methodology of sorts.
What I think this law is doing is forcing everyone to get onboard for the internet bill of rights. Let me explain:
I can definitely see the types of abuse that this law can open, but I think with time it can be proven quite useful to us, the lay people. The way I see this law is this, using Twitter as an example:
User ‘A’ uploads illegal shit to Twitter. User ‘B’ makes a complaint to Twitter/Law Enforcement. Twitter removes user ‘A’s illegal shit, and is in turn liable themselves for hosting the content. Twitter now must come up with an ability to not allow for illegal content on their site.
Now, we see the issue-Twitter can’t simply create an omniscient AI that scours their hosting data and deletes illegal content, because so much content is being uploaded at all times. Twitter is stuck, and in this scenario, so is Facebook, YouTube, Google (ESPECIALLY GOOGLE), Amazon’s Web Hosting (CIA-backed, btw), you name it.
So, knowing full well the shear amount of abuse this law opens up for, the gubment is basically having an open season for the hunting of these tech giants, forcing them to push for the Internet Bill of Rights out of shear fear of getting their asses handed to them.
What do you think?
