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.

@some_guy is there such a thing as an open source dns and encrypted DNS? Or federated DNS?

I use a self hosted pihole for DNS. It needs an upstream DNS server for resolving unchached dns's. I have pihole point to quad9 then cloudflair then google then I have it point to a bunch of unfiltered DNS servers across the world.

Pihole also let's you install unbound. Your own recursive resolver. So you don't have to rely on google or quad9 etc.

Cool I might do that. I assume I can find a docker compose somewhere.

They're absolutely is, it's called onion routing, get around DNS blocks with tor as long as you know where you're going.

Why would you not quote the first paragraph that explains everything about the law?

US Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) today proposed a law that would let copyright owners obtain court orders requiring Internet service providers to block access to foreign piracy websites. The bill would also force DNS providers to block sites.

TBH it's not that bad since it doesn't affect VPNs or domestic piracy sites, ironically. It's bad but it's not the apocalypse like some other commenters suggest.

Okay.... And that helps anyone how? Where's the other foot? I would like to help? I have a sledge hammer! C'mon don't be shy.

But, I got ideas! How about everyone who files for a patent has to give the Democratic party all their money or how autocorrect wants, all their monkey! That'll show them!

And how about everyone who goes to and graduates from college must serve a 30 year sentence? Fabulous!

Need a car license? Just smash your car on this steel wall! Yey! So easy! So much better than racists!

WTF! Put the thinking cap back on dudes!
