We can tell our elected leaders all we want but nothing is going to happen. The forbidden fruit is just too good.
- mass_and_energy 3y agoThis is the mentality that they desperately want you to have. Their game plan is to push more and more laws like this until we are too exhausted to push back. First ACTA then FISA and now RISAA. If you roll over and say "well they're gonna do it anyway so what's the point of fighting", you've let them win. If we all took this approach then the internet would come apart at the seams. Stand up for what's right and take action, otherwise you lose your right to complain about the consequences.
- dartos 3y agoBut like… they are just going to do it anyway. The best we can do, in the US, is try voting in new, younger, people who grew up using the internet and understand it.
- blurbleblurble 3y agoAt least it won't be legal if this law gets stopped
- freitzkriesler2 3y agoIt doesn't matter if it is illegal or not if they don't enforce the rules for themselves. Laws without enforcement are pointless.
- raxxorraxor 3y agoIt is true that modern leaders in many western nations are completely free of consequences for their behavior. Still, having it black on white that the behavior is illegal is a bonus. Although even constitutions didn't stop the crime.
- dartos 3y agoYeah I mean put it on the books. But it’s just theater
- freitzkriesler2 3y agoYou sound young. We went through this already with the patriot act. Nothing is going to change and voting doesn't work. The only solution is a tree of liberty pruning.
