Did anyone actually take action?
I'm not sure how to, or if I'm supposed to, since I'm based in Canada.
Use it and tell others to do the same.
Political process has been captured and can only be affect when critical mass of peasants regent policy via direct action.
You can always support others who try, like a Pirate Party, EFF, or FSF.
Canada has not yet introduced its version of an "Online Safety" bill, but it will be coming soon. Right now would be a very good time to write to your MP asking them to do what they can to stop it from including any of this kind of stupidity.
In all likelyhood there is probably a similar bill in your country
I think you may be right. I'll look into it and report back here.
