What the FUCK. Like, it'll be easy to get around that, and they can't block everything, but thats still so dystopian. Jfc.

Also sounds eerily similar to state internet censorship policies you hear about out of naughty countries that republicans describe as socialist or fascist or both. I'm sure their collective senses of hypocrisy and shame will kick in any day now...

Haven’t kicked in over another hypocrisy - American law prohibits companies from participating in the boycott of Israel (Arabs want to buy equipment but insist on no Israeli content, American company is required to report this to the government and reject the deal) but requires them to boycott Cuba.

Corrupt dictator (Batista) is overthrown, America is pissed that the new government voids contracts he signed. Corrupt dictator (Saran Hussein) is overthrown, American government demands that the new government void contracts he signed.
