I know! It's insanity. It's going to send the internet back to the dark ages. No one benefits. The intention is to silence the masses, who seem to be learning far too quickly what the law-makers are doing and why they are doing it. The cost of running the surveillance and censorship protocols have already causes FB investors to drop stock. That's what happened on July 25, 2018. When the stockholders learned that to implement the protocols they asked for in the May annual general, in response to the April Congressional Hearing, they bailed within 2 hrs, even before the meeting was over. FB lost $120M in 2 hours. So, the law-makers are going to overburden big tech, if not absolutely destroy the platforms. I have a new post out that's along the same line...legislators killing the net with their regulations. This one makes their intentions crystal clear - destruction.
