Lofgren's bill would impose site-blocking requirements on broadband providers with at least 100,000 subscribers and providers of public domain name resolution services with annual revenue of over $100 million. The bill has exemptions for VPN services and "similar services that encrypt and route user traffic through intermediary servers"; DNS providers that offer service "exclusively through encrypted DNS protocols"; and operators of premises that provide Internet access, like coffee shops, bookstores, airlines, and universities.

Invest in VPN providers.

Trump is president and this is their priority?

Why wouldn't it be? People's interests don't bring in money

[โ€“] [email protected] 32 points 1 month ago

Of course it is, what else would you expect from the controlled opposition party?

[โ€“] [email protected] 41 points 1 month ago

Even out of power they still find a way to give hand jobs for industry donations and casually screw the public. I admire their energy.

I'm missing the part where consumers are required to use their ISP DNS. I never do, in favour of CloudFlare DNS, Google DNS, etc

If they are not blocking the access to the WHO.is servers you can get the IP address of the site and add it to your local hosts file.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Doesn't the IP address change anyway?

77 year old who has been in the house since the 90s. Actually a prime example of why we need term limits and real competition in elections (if not from GOP, at least in primaries). Irony is she reps a district that isn't really associated with streaming or producing movies.

My guess? She won her primary because she was the incombent or was unopposed, but she probably receives cash from the film industry. Almost all house seats are uncompetitive unless someone drops out or gets redistricted. Until something changes, this is and will be the way our government continues to work.

in power since the 90s

Oh so carrying the torch for the LAST time they tried to go after media with the moral panic of "Explicit" music label stuff led by Tipper Gore? The one where Twisted Sister showed up in 1985. A continuation from when they had a panic about VHS recordings in 1969 and Mr Rogers testified.

I'm guessing lofgren has already done that

Wait until they start "the VPN wars". it's invariable at this point. Only the VPN that has bribed The Emperor the most will survive.

@some_guy is there such a thing as an open source dns and encrypted DNS? Or federated DNS?

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I use a self hosted pihole for DNS. It needs an upstream DNS server for resolving unchached dns's. I have pihole point to quad9 then cloudflair then google then I have it point to a bunch of unfiltered DNS servers across the world.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Pihole also let's you install unbound. Your own recursive resolver. So you don't have to rely on google or quad9 etc.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Cool I might do that. I assume I can find a docker compose somewhere.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

They're absolutely is, it's called onion routing, get around DNS blocks with tor as long as you know where you're going.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

It sort if have to be. In the end there has to be one source of truth for each TLD, otherwise who is to say who owns foo.com, and what it resolves to?

And then the same structure for assigning TLD ownership.

But there is nothing stopping you from running another DNS service, call it DNS2 with different root servers, etc. It is just going to be extemely hard to convince people to use it.

Lofgren is a corporate stooge is the message I'm getting.

After the US does this, Europe will be soon to follow guaranteed, then everyone will be trying to pipe through the same VPN exit server in Barbados

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

We already have site blocking in France.

This somehow reads with the same energy as those "please don't download scientific papers for free from , that would be so terrible" posts.

Great to see our representatives finally focusing on the real issues in these difficult times.
