Hopefully enough people nope out of the ID bullshit that the social media companies' revenue collapses and then they twist the politician's arms into repealing it.
It's concerning that this shit is "all of the sudden" spreading all over the place after Cuckstralia did it.

It's just going to push online discussion even further out of the government's hands. Tard countries will have to choose between IP blocking more internet than China or watching their stupid internet laws become completely toothless as everyone just uses a new social media site run out of Somalia.

Pretty sure Florida has a similar law already. Dunno what the deal is, or if everyone is just ignoring it.

Yeah, like Sseth's latest garbage, or whatever Ambiguous Amphibian posts, or some random chemistry channel showing off the cool shit you can make with fertilizer and drain cleaner.

You magically don't see ads cleverly built in to the videos themselves?

Meanwhile in Mexico, there are stands in the street market openly selling a USB drive full of bootleg movies for a dollar and my phone provider doesn't even know my name. It may all flip tomorrow, but at least it didn't flip yesterday like in the anglosphere, and there will always be cheap bribery.

Ah, a Rumble man. Or perhaps Bitchute?

I don't like anything that requires online ID verification. It's a much worse evil, the kind that leads to communism.

The foot in the door is the problem. I want a constitutional amendment making online ID verification completely illegal, even for financial services.

All the more reason to resist any attempt to de-anonymize the internet in any way. If they take the internet, we're fucked. They'll have all the benefit of technology in oppression and propaganda and we'll have sticks and stones against it.

Perhaps, though online commerce requires encryption. Amazon won't just let that slide in America. Some countries will try though, and either fail miserably or rapidly deindustrialize.

I feel like they've been trying and the internet has largely routed around it. They keep capturing the popular sites and censoring them and new ones keep popping up, each more resilient than the last. Imagine trying to censor fedi using their usual monopoly and money tricks.
gentoobro
Bitchute seems legit, and Rumble has been relatively reliable all things considered. It all starts to become irrelevant as better codecs and faster connections mean that any random fedi instance can host video.

Microsoft tried this with EFI, but failed. The main blocker is that most of the world isn't aligned with Microsoft, and when push comes to shove, will ban Windows to keep the NSA out of their machines. Those countries don't have the resources to create their own operating systems so they'll just have to use open ones, which will remain open because none of the countries trust each other to not build a backdoor into the closed parts.

Which will require a complete crackdown on non-backdoored encryption and/or a total ban of cryptocurrencies.

@Hoss I just don't think it's possible for people to "own" ideas or concepts. That's insane to me. That's clearly not law written in common sense, but law written by corporations for profitization. ---Which, is evident in how convoluted it is: common-sense laws, like "don't kill other people", is straightforward; Copyright and IP laws require pages upon pages of bullshit to justify and explain themselves existing. I'm against copyrights, I'm against patents, I'm against all "intellectual property"---an oxymoronic term/concept. If you can manufacture a product better or cheaper than someone else, regardless if you invented it yourself or not, that's good for innovation and good for the consumer. @dcc @gentoobro @cowanon @LordOfTheKangs
