And in other #OnlineSafetyAct news:

# US plans online portal to bypass content bans in Europe and elsewhere

Assuming that this service does not end up subject to access restriction measures?

@neil Amusing but performative. Nobody is gonna want to send their traffic directly to the US government.

Also, the US already funds myriad successful anti-censorship programmes, including Tor, so why aren’t they just promoting those?

@neil wouldn’t trust it at all, but I support the concept. Freedom of expression is under attack here.

@neil I doubt this thing will ever run reliably, this would basically be a huge open VPN into the US.
I’m sure content owners like Disney will be delighted to see Europeans access US contents.

@neil I mean, the competency of this implementation is going to depend on a lot of already-known factors...
