Blocking a large messaging platform because a minority of people are using it for piracy, of all things, seems extremely disproportionate

And it is pointless too as there are countless other messaging apps that can be used and countless others ways that can be created to circumvent. Law makers clearly do not get tech.

The other messaging apps offering better privacy on top of that, making it harder to control.
