I think possibly the most scary thing about KOSA and these other new pieces of shit is that we're being shown an Internet that's not indestructible.
Do you remember a phrase that went "SOPA means LOSER in Swedish!"?
That's what the Minecraft splash text said in 2012. With Mojang behind one of the biggest pushes, I'd say we were pretty organized. I don't know if you remember, but back then when SOPA was a bad Internet bill, the citizens of the Internet came together and kicked its ass. Excellent. Peace of mind.
Sadly, 2025 and onward is not as fortunate. Plenty of shitty bills have already passed - or at least gone further than we ever would have expected or liked - and The UK has been terrifyingly ruined. I never want to go to England for that. Australia already got screwed up, and now New Zealand where I live is being threatened.
So, what's happening now? We need to kick KOSA's ass the same way we kicked SOPA's ass, and, frankly, the same way we kicked TPPA's ass.
So far we haven't, and these KOSA things are really hard to kill. That's the main thing that's scaring me. These threats no longer die off in as reasonable a time period as they're meant to. We're not fighting Raditz anymore, we're fighting Baby.
