“Imagine losing internet access because someone in your household downloaded pirated music.”
Should the USPS/AusPost/your local postal service be allowed to cut off a household’s postal service because someone received pirated CDs in the mail? That’s essentially the same thing. If anything, internet access is more important than mail these days.
Wanna push everyone to the dark web? This is how you do it. People will just become obsessed with covering their tracks. You’ll have to rip open countless companies and organizations to get this to work. Fuck 'em. Prying eyes can eat shit and die.
You might be exaggerating people’s technical knowledge, desire to increase their technical knowledge, and / or their desire to effect change.
On the flip side what choice will they have after sony’s AI gets them cut off by claiming rights to the pictures of thier own kids on facebook. They will need lots of tech to get back online. And we know there are people who will find a way to make it dead simple.
Simply running away is not a winning move in the long run. You risk losing people along each ever more complex method as the technical debt grows greater and greater. And you cannot exhaust the system backed by trillions of dollars.
The only solution comes from challenging the states authority to do so in the first place.
No, don’t challenge the state. The state is too weak as is.

I am fully confident they will make the worst, and most unconstitutional, choice.
They will make the choice that they are paid to make

I hope the SCOTUS justices aren’t using 3-strikes-you’re-out ISPs! All it would take is three random DMCA takedown notices and they’d lose Internet.
Sony so mad at Cox for not cutting off someone’s Internet for downloading they’ll take it to the SCOTUS, but they won’t even use the frankly abusive laws they already have access to to just sue the end user? What is even going on?
The ruling could determine whether access to the internet—today’s lifeline for education, work, and civic life—can be taken away as punishment for digital misdeeds
And this is how we get a CCP Digital Firewall. Combine this with the Flock cameras, Ring doorbells, and years of data networks collecting information on us for advertising, and I do not see this going well at all.
americans sure are getting a hell of a time
Sadly, a lot of the internet is hosted in America, so anything that fucks them will fuck us
