That is a pretty concise explanation of the issue at hand. I have been against it for a while, but expected more of a backlash from the internet than I have been seeing. This has the potential to be a serious problem, and most everyone is ignoring it anyway.

It's just like everything else that get done under the table, we won't see anything come from this for 1 year, and then we will all be like....wtf happened to the internet.

I rarely take the time to call my congressman rather than just write but there are only a couple days left to do something about this and Congress seems to be content with ignoring the issue. I called and gave my congressman (or rather their staffer) a piece of my mind.
I urge all of you to do the same. I know the Voat community has a lot of strong support for free expression, let's do everything in our power to ensure the community can continue to exist.

It does a lot more than online petitions. People sign things like that all the time, but people only tend to call en masse when the issue is something that will affect their vote.
