The Block BEARD bill broadly applies to service providers as defined in section 512(k)(1)(A) of the DMCA. This is a broad definition that applies to residential ISPs, but also to search engines, social media platforms, and DNS resolvers.

Service providers with fewer than 50,000 subscribers are explicitly excluded

What worries me about it is how it applies very broadly, so it would mean stuff like the reddit piracy megathread could be prohibited, and make it actually more difficult for people to find or discuss places to safely pirate things

    This is an interesting rabbit hole

    I tried hitting tilded up black and Gemini space but I'm not seeing watching the way of sites that answer.

    Most of the stuff in search isn't working either.

    *edit for those trying this, use the search, go home, then click known hosts, there's a LOAD of sites, 80% or so work.
