outstanding.

man imagine if congress was warned 20 years ago the DMCA was a goddamn shit mess of a law and would certainly devolve into dystopianism.

Now even e-thots are using it as a censor button for when they get caught choking their dog or whatever.

The US ... trademark office? some office i'm not sure which.  just released a 200 page report saying the DMCA doesn't work, and the safe harbors need to be removed, companies that host user uploaded content being held responsible for trademark/copyright violation.

There's a protest outside Jeff Bezos' mansion in DC happening currently. Metro Police Department have closed off the street.

There's a DC-themed decorative guillotine on display. A fun fact about Bezos' home is that it is the largest in the city and cost $23 million. During its renovation, the project racked up more than $16,000 in parking tickets alone.

Apparently this mansion with intricate stone work is where Jeff Bezos lives
