      What you’re looking for is a VPS provider.

    Fuck, they just won’t quit with this bullshit.

    Is there anything regular people can do to stop this?

              You’re absolutely right, but if everyone goes authoritarian . . . they are likely to end up on top /s

              Right. Like the license plate readers, and backdoor in every operating system, and phone tracking… Wait we are talking about the US right?

      Nobody in Canada wants this to pass, only the police lobby that is intrumentalized to promote this is interested.

        Is there organizing happening up there? I’ve been disappointed at the amount of my friends and neighbors here in the US who understand it, contacted their congressperson, and then hung up their hat like the job was done.

          Yeah, but then we also need to rally about C-30, that re-authorizes all kind of known dangerous chemicals for the environment but also for our health, and rally against new pipelines, privatization of ports and airports, etc.

          Move fast and break (every)thing, so when people complain too loudly, it’s too late, there’s nothing left to salvage, and they’re already putting their hand on something else to divest attention from everything else they broke so far.

            We could break things back. If we truly united, our combined power could almost stop the rotation of the earth. It could certainly grind the global financial system to a halt.

          Theres petitions and such going around and people are vocal about it, but no rallying up for it yet.
