The US is not without flaws, we have SESTA and FOSTA, which restrict website content, passed with minimal outcry, and the potentially upcoming EARN IT[0] and LAED[1] acts, which will threaten end-to-end encryption and more. The only senator vaguely aware of these problems seems to be Ron Wyden.
No reason to assume we are able to simply relax.
