DIRE WARNING! Congress is trying to steamroll Internet Digital ID (age verification) surveillance laws. They want everyone completely tracked wherever they go online whether major social media, porn sites, web forums, blogs, gaming networks, etc.
Do not panic but do prepare! Literally any kind of media you wish to download and backup I would highly recommend doing so. Be it your favorite movies, tv shows, music, music videos, youtube channels, software, ISO copies of operating systems (have activation keys or cracks for proprietary stuff), porn, ebooks, whatever you wish to physically store offline and have get it! Have multiple backup drives and keep at least one of them offline most of the time, preferably stored in a dry yet cool place or locked away in a safe. Multiple backups.
Decentralized p2p networks and the Tor network should still exist no matter what shitty laws these asshole control freaks pass. Make sure you have access to these networks BEFORE the laws come into place. There will be a break-away internet, the corporate surveillance censored shithole will exist but we will have alternatives. Make sure you keep two separate laptops for each, only using the spy grid for banking or crypto. Keep another laptop for everything else like p2p and the dark web. If you are smart you already have this planned out, and probably have media players for your offline TV set and an offline PC to store stuff with open-source local LLMs and other useful software. Very useful and valuable in the dark days ahead!
100% make no mistake the governments are going to try their best to strangle all online fun, this is an attempt to kill the free internet as we know it. You can still get around it though and I'll see you anons on the other side.
