Lofgren's bill would impose site-blocking requirements on broadband providers with at least 100,000 subscribers and providers of public domain name resolution services with annual revenue of over $100 million. The bill has exemptions for VPN services and "similar services that encrypt and route user traffic through intermediary servers"; DNS providers that offer service "exclusively through encrypted DNS protocols"; and operators of premises that provide Internet access, like coffee shops, bookstores, airlines, and universities.

Invest in VPN providers.

Great to see our representatives finally focusing on the real issues in these difficult times.

TBH they can't really pass anything even if they wanted to focus on more important issues. Majority Leaders call votes and they're both Republicans.

In a democracy, when you're not in power what do you do to get that power back? You show the electorate that you're fighting for what they think is important. If Democrats absolutely insist on business as usual, promoting corporate interests and occasionally pausing to shout "fascist" at Trump, all the while just plain ignoring people's actual concerns we're going to lose the next election and the next one.

Singular, in this case.
