This is not a win and it's not backpedaling.

They don't want to vote on it and have it fail entirely.

They just want to rewrite it a little or slip it past later.

It's not if but when a version of this will pass that will be abused exactly like DMCA on youtube.



That's exactly what they are going to do. They know that the outcry won't duplicate itself over numerous iterations, and they'll slip it by when people turn away for a moment.


I'm sure they will just keep pushing back the vote until people on the Internet are tired of hearing about it, or have forgotten. I expect it to work.
