This was not well thought out. Cloudflare is now a publisher because they are editing content based on subject content. They are no longer protected by immunity as an ISP.

I wish this would be enforced. R*ddit is doing the same thing, to a much further extent.

A good point well made.

You're dead on.

The problem however, resides in the fact that instead of addressing the problem, the political elite are looking to increase control.

Let no good tragedy go to waste as they say. Publicize the mass shootings for gun control, publicize the natural disasters to increase or create the powers of FEMA, DHS, EPA, HHS...

By and large, the people want this. Freedom is hard. Freedom forces everyone to recognize that there are some ugly parts of humanity, that humans may not be fundamentally good and that you can't just educate this away.. Most people would rather the government hide tragedy from them, this way they need not be involved.
