THIS BILL HAS STRONG BIPARTISAN SUPPORT AND WILL LIKELY PASS UNLESS HEAVY RESISTANCE CAN BE ORGANIZED QUICKLY AND ON A LARGE SCALE. Voting on the House Floor is scheduled for THIS TUESDAY.
Aren't we Philippine-based? Still a bad bill though.
Jonathan Robinson
The servers are in California.
Benjamin Howard
HELL NO look at all the fuss being kicked up! of only people kicked up a fuss about bigger issues such as capitalist exploitation but meh, what can you do?
Carter Jackson
No fuss, no muss.
Sebastian Adams
fuck me are you a /brit/ poster
Adam Cruz
why do I always see this "call your representative" meme everytime US politics are talked about on here? do you people even think it works?
Eli Wright
Sometimes, yes. The explosive reactions to most of these other internet spying/censorship bills has most likely played a role in stopping them. CISA did eventually get passed at the end of 2015 however when they snuck it in a government spending bill.
Brody Sanders
fuck paul ryan
Gavin Martin
there is literally nothing wrong with Holla Forums getting shut down
Brandon Lee
calls by constituents are recorded by interns and entered into huge spreadsheets these spreadsheets are used to approximate the direction and magnitude public feelings on issues
if people are really blowing up a representative's phone, it can effect their voting
Sebastian Hughes
I for one LOVE sharing a site with >>>/zooscat/ >>>Holla Forums >>>/abdl/ and /younglove/
Cameron James
So does this mean we should start slowly going to getchan and bunkerchan?
Christopher Ortiz
An user posted a death threat against Rep. Ann Wagner in a /sudo/ thread discussing this bill. >>>/sudo/72491
Yea, if this bill passes there is no fucking way 8ch will survive.
Camden Bell
hope it kills 4chan
Eli Ramirez
I doubt anyone here considers 8ch a good platform overall, it's just that it the least shit alternative by a wide margin. Brb, learning2netsukuku.
Luis Moore
never going to happen. it would destroy the whole industry.
Adam Gutierrez
You misunderstood me. I want all of the site to die, including Holla Forums.
Landon Cooper
Wait what? What the fuck is going on? Should I be scared?
Gabriel Walker
I guess it's time to freak the fuck out guys.
Evan Taylor
getchan seems less dead
Owen James
It's likely that Facebook and Google will likely be able to tank the hit if this gets through.
Camden Lee
FB and google don't matter in this case. it's amazon and MS that will take the hit. one of the biggest reasons that people choose to host websites in the US is the legal protection against liability for user content. take that away and there is no reason for me not to host in Europe or anywhere else. this legal protection is not offered in most countries and is a significant factor in deciding where to host your content. this is why this website is hosted in the US.
Jaxson Lopez
So the conclusion to take from this is that this a nothingburger? Or what?
Cameron Ramirez
my conclusion is that it would be a catastrophically stupid idea to remove one of the largest contributing factors that led to the US dominance in the Internet industry. i'm sure that there are many congressmen receiving a lot of helpful advice from their good friends over at amazon, microsoft and google.
Thomas White
This bill has bipartisan support though. At least at the house level.
Jose Mitchell
we must critically support this bill against US imperialism.
host all websites in the UK
Gabriel Perry
Aren’t they both infested with cp, last time I went I spend less than 30 seconds without viewing heinous shit
Adrian Torres
Are you sure you're not thinking of masterchan? Maybe you stopped by during a raid? I just went to both sites and they seem fine.
Henry Phillips
does it also count as accelerationism by destroing the means of lefty procrastination?
Chase Peterson
The only website i see whining about this is 8 chan which makes me feel like its an overreaction
Jacob Garcia
Nice knowing you
Gabriel Wood
I would prefer a website where I can spamfilter shitposting while retaining anonymous discussion
Nicholas Lee
Will bunker and get chan's survive?
Evan Green
most major sites don't host shit like mentioned. good riddance though.
Chase Flores
At worst, american chans will be replaced by non-american chans, or chans will become darknet only.
Jaxson Thomas
likely, since nobody really gives a shit about them
Thomas Stewart
Hopefully 4chan gets killed off.
Jace Diaz
...
Ryan Long
The Anglosphere still exists user
Jason Sanders
...
Bentley Fisher
it works when someone from the winning coalition calls their representative, because their support actually matters for winning elections. a lefty calling a republican isn't going to affect anything, but a Holla Forumsyp calling to defend their memes does have a small effect.
John Rogers
It was only a matter of time
Gavin Brown
At least there's Bunkerchan.
Camden Edwards
...
Cameron Martinez
As much as i hat to admit it this will probably be a good thing. put an end to Facist propaganda of autistic fucktards
James Flores
IMO western communists should gather on Vkontakte. You probably won't be censored unless you start shilling Navalny or something, and it keeps you out of CIA databases.
Thomas Mitchell
the obvious answer here is that Holla Forums will have to get rid of the "create a board feature" and then delete the cp and other garbage people boards
Camden King
You'd think people would learn after net neutrality.
Ayden Gutierrez
the FCC is not an elected body, so they have even less reason to care about what people want
this is a bill going before congress, not a proposal being evaluated by some executive agency
Andrew Mitchell
Bookmark getchan.net and prepare for the worst
Gabriel Bennett
Nice try FSB
If anything communists should use Mastodon and Diaspora, decentralization is the future
Jaxon Sullivan
You know, it's not that I'm surprised, it's just something I'd never thought of before. Hell, I can't even say I'm disappointed, I just feel like "Oh yeah, right, that would be a thing now wouldn't it".
Joshua Martinez
Wait would this kill 4chan too?
Camden Jones
Well they did almost get shut down over the fappening so yeah probably.
Grayson Myers
Man I hope so.
Jackson Barnes
To be honest. Image Boards are dead. It's all on a life support system at this point. It's all infested with Holla Forums, it's all just fucked up, after it got infested with Holla Forums there came a wave of Conservative redditors, and boomer after boomer after boomer
Pull the trigger Piglet, Kill Me
William Myers
The internet as it exists currently needs to be destroyed.
Juan Hughes
I feel like the Boss at the end of MGS3 lmao
I really don't even care at this point, fuck it shut it down, there's nothing left, kill me Jack
Isaac Green
...
Chase Harris
I have fond memories of this place, don't really want to see it go.
It was an honor shitposting with you guys
Ayden Powell
WAIT, WOULD THIS KILL SILICON VALLEY?
Andrew Bailey
It would hurt Amazon as suggests
Gavin Carter
Eva still a shit.
Nathaniel Russell
see you on getchan, I guess
Luke Gomez
I would literally get down on my atheist knees and praise the lord. then I would have nowhere to shitpost and I'll be forced to improve my social life
Jack Roberts
Maybe it has been said already in this thread or elsewhere, but could they not merely switch their servers to ones overseas?
Luke Wilson
it starts on tuesday… imagine the consequences
Tyler Smith
This will hurt us a million more times than it will hurt fascists.
Jordan Cox
but at the bright side, no more Holla Forums
Jace Foster
So few people use those that you're just setting a flag on yourself. Also, swamped with CP and fascists. I think VK would have one downside though, which is that Russia does try to appease the USA a lot, such as all their deals and compromises in Syria. Otherwise, it would probably be a much better place for western communists to communicate than other social media such as twitter, facebook, etc.
Gavin Evans
Doesn't the effect of this bill go through at a later date though? I thought that laws in America aren't just immediately put into effect.
Jonathan Cooper
When did the change happen? That's disheartening to know
Nicholas Stewart
IIRC the servers never left the USA.
Benjamin Harris
Fuck. It was cool posting with you guys. Maybe this will incite us to make real change/physical organizing.
Jack Morales
GETchan and other backup boards still exist
Hudson Rodriguez
nope mate, if communication is restricted or severed, our situation will worsen. every one will scatter around disorganized, demotivated and disenchanted. Other Image boards could be a viable option, but they are so small and they would most likely be unstable, if they get a new influx of users. also they dont have as much reach as we do here in Holla Forums. Holla Forums has been really stable since the hack.
Charles Harris
Would he rather stare at other people stuff their faces?
b-b-but Holla Forums assured me it was a nothing burger that would die in the house!
Josiah Morgan
Wtf I thought FOSTa died
Why did I think this Holy shit
Kayden Ross
When are 8ch servers moving to China
Isaac Morris
This is the second time this legislation has been introduced.
Caleb Diaz
8ch is hosted in Las Vegas
Bunkerchan is hosted in the EU and will still be chugging as always. Just looked up getchan's IP THEY'RE HOSTED IN CALIFORNIA THIS BILL WILL EFFECT GETCHAN!!!!
What CP?
Ryan Ortiz
Shit just got real. A board like >>>/triforce/ could really fuck-up Holla Forums.
Carson Hill
Jesus fucking Christ
Noah Gomez
Is this the Holla Forums version of “triggered yet libs”
Dylan Turner
It's liberals thinking their elected officials will do anything in the interest of the people instead of in the interests of whomever is paying them the most.
Owen Hernandez
so when this shit going to take effect and how 4ch and 8ch going to be?
Landon Scott
4chan would probably just be too valuable of an asset for the US to ditch. All sorts of intelligence agencies have their hands in the 4chan pie, and it would be a waste of resources to not have a fascist troll army on standby. For Holla Forums, I have no idea.
Austin Morales
I have this feeling that the feds will cracked down hard on pol and this board
Kevin Butler
Why would the feds crack down on Holla Forums?
Jaxon Smith
don't they like infiltrate some boards to see whats going on.
Ryder Myers
To the feds, Holla Forums is an asset to them. It's just filled with boomers and petite bourgeoisie sons that fail to get laid and they'll need Holla Forums in order to spread propaganda.
Oliver Gomez
But i just fuckin discovered this place months ago. Goddamnet
Please tell me this is a meme
David Parker
Oh please, there are literally a million bills like this passed every month, the government can't regulate the internet and if they did we would just be pushed back to Reddit in the worst case scenario where we would have to advocate for less restrictions maybe even start a revolution. Point being only Holla Forums is paranoid enough to take this seriously, stop worrying.
Nicholas Jenkins
WDHMBT?
Tyler Davis
:^)
Cooper Cruz
you need to go back
Gabriel Cook
Thanks Obama!
Kevin Russell
>>>/sudo/72444
Carter Martinez
I didn't really plan on respecting the law regardless
