    Serious question: If this bill passes, how will the US Internet be meaningfully different than China’s Internet, if it’s used to censor stuff the government doesn’t like?

      Well… The internet was originally built on decentralized communications. We may have to transition more heavily to the darkweb, any attempts to block that would be an attack on freedom of speech.

      Humanity seems to progress/regress in waves. We’ll try to ride this out, and some of us will use ingenuity to make a taller ladder vs the govt’s taller walls. They can never keep pace.

          I say dark web only in protection in transit of important/forbidden info.

          I realize that was confusing, but yeah, any decentralized system should be applicable, just needs to add protecting the data while traveling, and who is looking at it.

          Isps could take them down. Maybe requiring each site to state what it’s using it for and forcing requirements down. If China can do it, U.S could follow too.
