This could be the end of much of the fediverse, especially the more left-leaning parts.
Frankly, we need an alternative to DNS that isn’t vulnerable to this kind of censorship.
It exists - it’s called ENS (Ethereum Name Service). All domain names and associated data (like adresses) are stored in the blockchain and accessed through P2P network (Think Torrent-like) with strong cryptographic security.
Well, at least it’s set for 1/1/2027. By then, free speech will be long gone anyways or we’ll have gotten our act together
I’m sick of this constant fight to stay in place. Fuck the Democrats, we need a party that will do more then slowly cowtow to the fascists
Which brings us back to the core question: how could these Democratic Senators support a plan that would simultaneously give Donald Trump unprecedented censorship powers while also consolidating Meta’s control over online speech?
The evidence suggests they simply don’t understand what they’re doing. Each of these Senators has a documented history of fundamental confusion about Section 230 and how the internet works:
Richard Blumenthal has been getting Section 230 wrong since his days as Connecticut’s AG in the early 2000s.
Sheldon Whitehouse’s chapter on free speech revealed such profound confusion about Section 230 that it’s hard to believe he’s actually read the law.
We’ve already covered Durbin and Klobuchar’s dangerous misunderstandings.
I’m sure glad they’re the representatives standing up for democracy haha right guys?
