Congress is preparing the PATRIOT Act on bath salts to completely destroy the internet as we know it. Mass censorship that extends beyond the US, no accountability, and no transparency.

Soon, being designated a "Russian bot" will have extreme legal consequences

@LouisConde This shit is blatantly unconstitutional and would do to the 1st Amendment what's become of the 4th Amendment were it to get through both Congress and the courts.
-
@ArdainianRight @LouisConde
At this point, the Constitution does nohing to limit their power and is only ever trotted out to justify their own legitimacy and to further grab power.
We have the executive ruling by decree at this point, and the legislature and courts coming in far after the fact to half-ass a partial roll back long after it would make a difference.
-
@teknomunk @LouisConde Oh, I know. We're still better than Europe in terms of free speech but I don't expect that to last.
-
@ArdainianRight This sounds like something a Russian troll would say, 20 years in prison for you
-
@LouisConde I hate this gay ass country
-
@LordMordred @LouisConde >Sounds like somebody is a foreign agent
-
Fuck your right to due process and transparency
-
@LouisConde Land of the free etc.
-
@okuu Up to 20 years and civil asset forfeiture if you're labeled a national security risk
-
@LouisConde @okuu Sacred DemocracyLand strikes again
-
@LouisConde So what does all of this legalese bullshit mean? Will my shitposts land me in jail?
-
@ArdainianRight @LouisConde >unconstitutional
would make it, what, only the 20000th time?
laws don't matter only people do
-
@sky999999 @LouisConde Which is why I compared it to the 4th Amendment, which was clearly not adequate to prevent a surveillance state.
-
@ArdainianRight @LouisConde Lol
Who is going to save you the constitution fairy?
The constitution has either permitted us to get to this point or failed to prevent it
Either way it is unfit for purpose
Even when it does obstruct them they simply push through or go around it because sovreign is who decides on the exception
When this is all said and done thet cum stained security blanket shall be burned and its ashes scattered
-
@VidMasterEon @LouisConde I know all this. I referenced the 4th Amendment specifically because it's about as enforced as the Soviet Constitution.
-
@LouisConde This is deranged, but the legal system is already a joke. Only thing that changes is that the regime's show trials will cite this new law instead of making one up like they did for the meme trials.
Opsec is key; opsec is the only thing that will protect you from persecution. We do not live under a legitimate government.
-
@LouisConde @okuu
-
@AmericanChampion @LouisConde There is literally no OPSec to be had under this
-
@deprecated_ii @LouisConde LOL if they shut down the massive political pressure valve that is bitching on the internet then the explosions on the street will be real fuckin literal.
-
@deprecated_ii Because fuck you
-
@LouisConde cutting off their nose to spite their face? make the internet suck even more and people might have to go outside and talk to their neighbors
on the bright side I look forward to getting killed by a government hit squad for releasing "illegal software" or something down the line
-
@LouisConde why
-
@LouisConde I'm getting intense late Soviet Union vibes here. A bunch of octogenarians grasping for control and everything they do acts like throwing sand into a well oiled machine.
Tech and comms are useful for the US Glownigger apparatus bc of how smoothly and relatively hands-free it works. Who would buy US tech / banking services with all this overhead?
-
@LouisConde A great consequence for this will be the return of Internet anonymity. Tor-like software will get a boost, so will Monero.
The "cool" thing will be the internet that's outside the main sites. China and Russia will have a field day by pointing how fucked up the MUH DEMOCRACY and "land of the free" are. You can't use raw power to go against the founding myths and against what you want to sell your vassal states.
-
@MechaSilvio @LouisConde current US leaders have no idea to operate any of the machinery their predecessors built whether it's physical infrastructure or legal or political. which is why it's floundering internationally while domestically things keep blowing up, I've lost count. US diplomacy is non-existent these days because they've gotten used to just getting what they want by threatening sanctions and parking aircraft carriers, which they suddenly can't do with Russia so they're dumbfounded. China is negotiating deals between middle eastern blood enemies and the state department is sitting there having no idea how it happened. no one knows how to run this empire
