At CinemaCon this year, the Motion Picture Association Chairman and CEO Charles Rivkin said the organization is going to work with Congress to establish and enforce a site-blocking legislation in the United States.
the growth has already been staggering since states starting requiring ID’s for pornhub. I’m glad tech literacy is increasing in the face of these recurring laws. Small silver lining I can latch on to lol
It’s almost like John Oliver’s NSA street campaign. No one cared until he started talking about how the NSA was cause inappropriately “handling” dick pics
They’re half the way there. One does not simply turn off the porn. People will go through great lengths to see nudes
Now we just have to make them understand that their porn history is being collected along with their legal identity. Hackers will get it before long, and if the government doesn’t have it already, it’s just a matter of time
The violation we’ve felt having all of our movements and habits tracked is apparently only felt by the masses when their junk is analyzed. Which I find weird, but hey, whatever makes people realize privacy isn’t something to shrug off
You don’t have to ban VPNs. Just force everyone doing business in the US to keep logs and to comply with blocking websites via federal law (that will be dictated by the MPAA)
Just use a foreign VPN (basically all trustworthy, privacy-focused VPN providers are located outside the US, e.g.Mullvad in Sweden,IVPN in Gibraltar or Proton VPN in Switzerland) and connect to an exit server outside the US
I mean, that’s not out of the realm of possibility of things going down that way, but good luck getting that passed and then enforcing that, especially internationally.
Also, I have to wonder if there’s an argument to be made about undue burden. But NAL, so dunno.
VPNs are about to become a lot more commonplace.

Or that will be their first target
I2P stumbles out of bar drunk, my timesss has come!
Is it possible to access clearnet sites on I2P? (I haven’t used it before but I have heard of it.)
Theoretically possible but definitely not built for it.
Tor serves the clear net access problem.
I2P because of its design is a lot better suited for p2p file transfers, while maintaining anonymity.
Yes, check out outproxies
Not an easy target, since the technology/protocol is integral to many large businesses’ infosec operations.

Boom. VPNs “banned”
Just use a foreign VPN (basically all trustworthy, privacy-focused VPN providers are located outside the US, e.g. Mullvad in Sweden, IVPN in Gibraltar or Proton VPN in Switzerland) and connect to an exit server outside the US

Well…any VPN provider that won’t comply would be blocked from doing business in the US.
Which you can bypass… with a vpn. Self fulfilling market offer.
