Second U.S. Pirate Site-Blocking Bill Incoming: MPA, Google, Verizon Met to Discuss * TorrentFreak

The Foreign Anti-Digital Piracy Act aims to bring site-blocking to the U.S. It will face competition from a second bill with similar goals.

A renewed attempt to introduce site blocking in the U.S. emerged in late January when U.S. Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D) introduced the Foreign Anti-Digital Piracy Act. The FADPA bill received the MPA’s full support, and it now transpires that similar legislation is being prepared by U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa ®. A recent meeting to discuss the ‘American Copyright Protection Act’ was attended by Disney, Paramount, and Amazon, plus Google, YouTube, and Verizon.

    indeed. Not like they dont have a bigger issue with their government lterally dissolving before their eyes. I wonder how they expect to uphold this when DOGE finishes its amazingly competent efforts at ‘efficiency’

      Oh don’t worry, the parts of the government that benefit the rich and corporations I’m sure they will find a way to salvage.
