The US has other active vectors with similar objectives of expanding government mandated controls over online activity - see the discussion on California age verification law https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47181208. So maybe I'm seeing things in my pattern matching - but it seems like a broad push to attack online freedoms into centrist left and right legislatures coming from some internationally coordinated effort.

I doubt there is any conspiracy or global cooperation, I think it's just monkey see monkey do.

I don't think its a close knit conspiracy either but its more like billionaire monkey see billionaire monkey do
