Was this the bill that @cabal had mentioned potentially killing RDN a while back? At any rate, upcoming US legislature, I should really probably post this at a better hour for US bronies... So, I guess I'll just redo this later, and post now as a holding place for that thought. http://preview.tinyurl.com/3hyj83c

@scribuscampbell This is the descendant of that bill, yes. It will kill more or less every website that allows users to submit content if it's implemented and enforced as written.

@ceruleanspark Which, in turn, will pretty much kill the internet. Great... Anyone remember how to set up a BBS?

@ponydude2143 Oh, yeah, that sounds familiar now. I think this was the one that would have made any pony fans without access to The Hub suddenly felons. Either way, bad news.

@scribuscampbell Meh, you can't just cut down social networks. It's just a matter of moving the servers to other countries.

@scribuscampbell Not to you, anyway. But if I offer to take over hosting RDN and host it in sweeden, or my house, or w/e, it won't be an issue for anyone outside of the US to access it.

@ceruleanspark I think it's already hosted in . . . Germany? Pretty sure it's not US. Could be wrong though.

@scribuscampbell The bill does not outlaw setting your DNS to a foreign provider. I would host a DNS server for everypony to use if it came to that.

@ceruleanspark You are, indeed, the Great and Powerful Cerulean. :)

@ceruleanspark In simple words, everypony would start doing that, and the economic consecuences would be catastrophic.

@scribuscampbell Still, it will be exactly as a dry law. It can't stand for too long, for it will be a serious problem, just for the irony of it. US tries to justify everything by "freedom and democracy". Doing something like that would ruin it's already withered international image.

@nerthos Oh, yeah, I don't see it passing. But, if everyone stands around saying, "That'll never fly!" and nobody does anything about it, well... yeah.

@scribuscampbell It's the problem with the masses. They're useless.

@ponydude2143 Yeah. There are simply too many ways to elude such a bill.
