KOSA and other Bad Internet Bills (US-specific for now)

Red alert! For the last six months, EFF, Fight for the Future, ACLU, Woodhull Foundation, and dozens of other groups have been sounding the alarm about several #BadInternetBills that have been put forward in Congress. We’ve made it clear that these bills are terrible ideas, but Congress is now considering packaging them together—possibly into must-pass legislation. We're organizing to keep them from sneaking these bad internet bills through.

This community is for news stories, opinion pieces, and action links about these bad internet bills. Please help get the word out!

And if you use microblogging software like Mastodon, please also check out the #BadInternetBills hashtag.

what's the alternative once they figure this out, a mesh network of wireless devices?

If they "figure it out" it will mean that there is no alternative, and no technology on its own will prevent that. I think until that happens, you just build spaces they do not control, and avoid contributing to what they do control, and act to make encroaching control expensive and difficult. Don't comply with unjust laws.
