The draft of Rep. Darrell Issa's new U.S. pirate site blocking bill 'ACPA' is not without controversy. In public comments, opponents warn that the bill's legal framework risks overblocking, which can impact legitimate sites and services. And in a new twist, it appears the bill may come with a potential self-destruct button: a "sunsetting clause".

I feel like there are more important issues than obsessing over genitals and monopoly money for the entertainment industry. Maybe slow your roll on murdering people on the other side of the world? How about here too? Improve infrastructure? Housing? Enshrine abortion as a fucking legal right? Wages? Stop erasing the achievements of women and your crusade against dei? I could go on, but my life is already a giant mess this week.
