Every user in the country is now faced with a choice: submit their most sensitive data for privacy-invasive analysis, or stay off of Reddit entirely. Which would you choose?

hahaha get fucked. Are you kidding me? I'll crack a beer and sit on my fucking porch all day before I submit anything at all to any of this dumb shit. Especially Reddit.

I guess the lingering question is where we draw the line through. Sure, today it's reddit--a place many of us already dropped despite being our internet home for years. Will they start pressing other sites to comply with similar laws?

It also seems the stalwarts that refuse to comply are greatly outnumbered by those who will just accept the new rules in order to keep using their favorite meme site.

Fuck Reddit, for sure. They may only be the first of many to be placed in this situation though.

This will be one of those things that changes the landscape slowly and unpredictably, but I've always seen the long curve of the internet as trending towards decentralisation in the long run. Give it another 25 years and you'll be amazed how cyberpunk this ends up getting lol.

Or I'm just full of cope. But we shall see.

Maybe this is how they kill social media for good and more power to them.

Like if Chinese, Cuban, and Belarus internet wasn't enough of a warning. Buzz off EFF, you’re not laying fiber optics for free.

If the EFF won't become an ISP that frees the internet, then this motion is as useless the rest of those countries that fell through.

Why don’t you become an ISP that frees the internet?

I did. Friend betrayed me. Now I'm retrying elsewhere. What about you?
