    Good luck trying to ban OSS next, which would criminalize basically everyone who’s ever used a browser that isn’t IE, everyone who’s ever used an Android phone or a Chromebook, everyone who’s ever used any modern audio or video codec as the bulk of those are OSS too, and would destroy both Big Data and the Cloud, both of which are primarily Linux-based, and send the US back to the web’s dark ages.

    Also, since this bill punishes people by making them spend most of their lives in prison, how are they going to lock up everyone who’s ever used Chromium or Firefox browsers, for example, or everyone who’s ever used Android or ChromeOS, which is most of the country’s population at this point, should that ban extend to a general OSS ban? (this part was originally a reply but I moved it to the main post)

      Free speech and expression is one of the many previously-thought-to-be-inalienable rights that are in the current administration’s crosshairs. If I could flee this country for, say, the Netherlands, I’d do so in a heartbeat, unfortunately I can’t.

      The right to free speak can be compromised if it interferes with other, more important rights…

      … like the right of shareholders to make money.
