    Ok, it’s a freedom and free speech nightmare, but are they stupid or something? They are aiming for the browsers instead of ISPs (and DNSes?)?

      Because DNS will do little and browsers will do straight up nothing. Especially for the good open source browsers.

      I “think” I remember them trying something like this before with the ISPs and it got smacked down.
