Lofgren’s bill would impose site-blocking requirements on broadband providers with at least 100,000 subscribers and providers of public domain name resolution services with annual revenue of over $100 million. The bill has exemptions for VPN services and “similar services that encrypt and route user traffic through intermediary servers”; DNS providers that offer service “exclusively through encrypted DNS protocols”; and operators of premises that provide Internet access, like coffee shops, bookstores, airlines, and universities.

Invest in VPN providers.

Is this going to take out VPNs as well?

Okay… And that helps anyone how? Where’s the other foot? I would like to help? I have a sledge hammer! C’mon don’t be shy.

But, I got ideas! How about everyone who files for a patent has to give the Democratic party all their money or how autocorrect wants, all their monkey! That’ll show them!

And how about everyone who goes to and graduates from college must serve a 30 year sentence? Fabulous!

Need a car license? Just smash your car on this steel wall! Yey! So easy! So much better than racists!

WTF! Put the thinking cap back on dudes!

I’m missing the part where consumers are required to use their ISP DNS. I never do, in favour of CloudFlare DNS, Google DNS, etc

Whoever wrote this bill probably lacks the basic network skills to know you can do that.
