"Our" firewall: fucked, if ever implemented. probably won't ever be.
“Great Firewall of China”: massively fucked, already implemented.
Yours is a false equivalence. The only people suggesting it's "good and just" are the MPA and other copyright trolls.
Go back to reddit nerd.
Yep. Peak Hexbear moment
