Lofgren’s bill would impose site-blocking requirements on broadband providers with at least 100,000 subscribers and providers of public domain name resolution services with annual revenue of over $100 million. The bill has exemptions for VPN services and “similar services that encrypt and route user traffic through intermediary servers”; DNS providers that offer service “exclusively through encrypted DNS protocols”; and operators of premises that provide Internet access, like coffee shops, bookstores, airlines, and universities.
Invest in VPN providers.
I’m missing the part where consumers are required to use their ISP DNS. I never do, in favour of CloudFlare DNS, Google DNS, etc
Whoever wrote this bill probably lacks the basic network skills to know you can do that.
@SquiffSquiff @some_guy They do that here to some degree. ISP’s DNS give a shitty warning about pirating if you try to visit any of the normal places for that kind of thing. Personally i just use a local DNS over HTTPS server. Which reminds me I need to see if he/she would like a donation.
Even out of power they still find a way to give hand jobs for industry donations and casually screw the public. I admire their energy.
Lofgren is a corporate stooge is the message I’m getting.
When you forgot to educate your people well enough so you don’t have to worry about what they see.
Democrats once again losing on purpose.
Democrats: “Please for the love of God, don’t vote for us ever again! We really, really don’t want to win.”
Lemmy: "Fuck that, I’ll vote blue no matter who. You can’t tell me what to do"
Democrats:
D E M O C R A T singular, one. Not democrats. For fucks sake it’s on the bloody title!
Why are people so willfully ignorant?
US Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) today proposed …
Cause people fail to awknowledge there is more to politics than just left and right, or progressive and conservative, etc.
From California? Hmmm… Why would a representative from California put forward such a bill?
This is some dumb shit.
Article 1) Streaming prices going up Article 2) websites being blocked
Sometimes I feel like democrats don’t actually care more about voters, they just care much more about appearances.
Idk man, that sounds like evidence based thinking to me, reported.
And rich people
77 year old who has been in the house since the 90s. Actually a prime example of why we need term limits and real competition in elections (if not from GOP, at least in primaries). Irony is she reps a district that isn’t really associated with streaming or producing movies.
My guess? She won her primary because she was the incombent or was unopposed, but she probably receives cash from the film industry. Almost all house seats are uncompetitive unless someone drops out or gets redistricted. Until something changes, this is and will be the way our government continues to work.
in power since the 90s
Oh so carrying the torch for the LAST time they tried to go after media with the moral panic of “Explicit” music label stuff led by Tipper Gore? The one where Twisted Sister showed up in 1985. A continuation from when they had a panic about VHS recordings in 1969 and Mr Rogers testified.
I specially went Obama over Clinton because she was still saying in 2008 how video games promote violence. There’s a certain type of Dem, and they’re still ramming them down our throats.
I swear. The harder they mess with this type of stuff the more single-issue-voters it pushes to vote against them. This war on media is such a losing battle I don’t understand why they’re opting to wage it with the current fish on the grill. This kind of unpopular legislation is stuff you try and push when you’re in power, and try to sell it as an “eat your veggies” moment. Rebranding while they’re down certainly makes for an interesting conversation when they rubber band back into power and say “we’ve said we were gonna do this since 2025” type conversation.
@some_guy is there such a thing as an open source dns and encrypted DNS? Or federated DNS?
I use a self hosted pihole for DNS. It needs an upstream DNS server for resolving unchached dns’s. I have pihole point to quad9 then cloudflair then google then I have it point to a bunch of unfiltered DNS servers across the world.
Pihole also let’s you install unbound. Your own recursive resolver. So you don’t have to rely on google or quad9 etc.
Cool I might do that. I assume I can find a docker compose somewhere.
It’s actually surprisingly centralized.
It sort if have to be. In the end there has to be one source of truth for each TLD, otherwise who is to say who owns foo.com, and what it resolves to?
And then the same structure for assigning TLD ownership.
But there is nothing stopping you from running another DNS service, call it DNS2 with different root servers, etc. It is just going to be extemely hard to convince people to use it.
They’re absolutely is, it’s called onion routing, get around DNS blocks with tor as long as you know where you’re going.
This is some fascist (& not at all surprising) shit.
This somehow reads with the same energy as those “please don’t download scientific papers for free from <long list of websites>, that would be so terrible” posts.
Is the capability to block any website something the Democrats want to enable with for Trump to abuse?
Seriously.
This is a shit shit back to front now.
Yes, then they can blame him for it but still get paid by the oligarchs who wanted the bill.
Trump is president and this is their priority?
Of course it is, what else would you expect from the controlled opposition party?
Why wouldn’t it be? People’s interests don’t bring in money
