It's a whopping 6 pages and mostly double-spaced and more white space. And lemmy upvotes these cynical comments without a shred of investigation.

I'm reading it as making data centers harder to block, now I'm not so sure. Your take?

    The bill explicitly states that data centers being a public nuisance is a "Compelling government interest," so I don't think it's geared towards protecting data centers.

    taking actions that prevent or abate common law nuisances created by physical datacenter infrastructure.

    Edit: there is one major issue with the bill; it still keeps the door open for age verification.
