They just don't give up, do they?

If the Internet has become a few major corporations fighting over control and funding politicians to gatekeep for one or the other, maybe the Internet should die.

I condone all and every criminal activity, no matter how small or large

It's honestly not just this. The world economic forum and governments are together attacking the internet and trying to destroy it as we know it. People HAVE to fight this now. Or the internet will NEVER be the same again. We will lose so much. They want to know exactly who you are, what you're watching, what you're saying. Who your friends are. They want to data mine your life and sell it all. If you say anything they dislike they want to black bag you in the middle of the night and make you disappear. No more freedom of sharing information. If your Government does something you don't like or straight up evil. You will not be able to report on it. They will censor you, they will disappear you. Everyone, needs to stand against this. I don't care what sides you think you are on. People need to stand united against this.

I cannot express how truly DIRE this is becoming and like others have said I find it very strange that this is all happening around the time where people are vehemently demanding a certain list be released.

Great troll post, but yeah I am actively doing what I can to fight it. Takes more than one person though.

Why don't you paint us a scenario?

It should be pretty self-evident. But if that bill passes and corporations have the power to deem anything they want as "piracy". Websites like the Internet Archive could be taken down. Repositories of knowledge could be taken down on the grounds of that information being pulled from a book that is copyrighted from a company. Education could suffer a lot from a bill like this. We could lose a lot of data/history on the grounds of those materials being copyrighted by corporations. Even if it isn't being supported or distributed anymore. In a way it would be akin to burning a Library. Much has already been lost in the short amount of time humanity has been making digital media.

theres doing a digital ID soon just to log in to the internet and companies will be fined 20 million dollars and jailtime for hosting illegal content and hosting VPNs

internet is over soon, download wut u can before everything is banned

Instead of the proper solution of reducing games copyright of 15 years, movies 40 years, books author lifetime

They instead choose to let corps seize complete control of most info indefinitely and corpos never die

I'm surprised Tim Berners-Lee hasn't had a heart attack or aneurysm with what they've been doing to his internet lately...

Poor guy, his blood pressure has to be through the roof!

Preserving media yourself, locally, is the only way to stop stuff like this from happening.

The internet as we know it is going to change. This is inevitable.

I predict decentralized encrypted local repositories to replace the centralized archive

No such thing as decentralization on the internet.
