This is true and yet we managed to kick SOPA to the curb (one of Aaron Swartz's finest hours)

That was more than a decade ago. Think how many normies have come online since then that have only ever used a smartphone. Sadly the average computer literacy of those times are gone.

I remember a few years ago, being shocked to see that over 50% of applicants for a software engineering role applied directly from their smartphones. So it's not even just normies who see their phone as "the computer".

Did you notice that SOPA reappears every couple of years since then?
