We're incredibly lucky the 'just an acronym' ended that way then. Had they named it the 'Joining and Reinforcing the Nation by Satisfying Liberties and Guaranteeing Efficient Control Over Surveillance' we would have ended with the JRN SLGECOS Act.

You can forget about liberties until you come up with a better acronym

Would you settle for a catchy motto, mayhap?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_Free_or_Die

> "Live Free or Die" is the official motto of the U.S. state of New Hampshire, adopted by the state in 1945. It is possibly the best-known of all state mottos, partly because it conveys an assertive independence historically found in American political philosophy and partly because of its contrast to the milder sentiments found in other state mottos.

I suppose one must die, since living free is not an option.

Note to self: stay out of New Hampshire.

Note from New Hampshire: We don't want you anyway.

there's dozens of us!

Come on, that is literally what "Live Free or Die" means!

Apparently I forgot to close my sarcasm tag.

Stuff is so Orwellian that it really looks like a joke for those who do not know what USA Freedom Act means.

I chuckled, at least.

Seeing the rise in the amount of bots on YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, basically all the major and a lot of minor social networks over the last ~decade has really been something, too. Tons and tons of people with account names that all follow similar regex's saying the same things around the same time.

I suppose it feels closer to Brave New World than 1984 but it's eerie, and those are just the accounts that stand out. I imagine the "premium propaganda" option from the companies and agencies providing the bot services are even harder to discern.

Really, it’s right out of Ender’s Game IMO.

It's a deception, something that should have no place in law coding.
