Fuck the FCC.

 

Quote

A group of states and others have sued to try to block the new rules from taking effect. The revised rules were a win for internet service providers like AT&T Inc and Comcast Corp but are opposed by internet firms like Facebook Inc and Alphabet Inc.

"The agency failed to listen to the American public and gave short shrift to their deeply held belief that internet openness should remain the law of the land," FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel, a Democrat, said Thursday. "The FCC is on the wrong side of history, the wrong side of the law, and the wrong side of the American people."

The U.S. Senate is set to vote as early as next week on whether to reject the FCC repeal of the net neutrality rules — but that effort faces an uphill battle.

Proponents currently have the backing of 47 Democrats and two independents who caucus with Democrats, as well as Republican Senator Susan Collins. With the prolonged absence of Republican Senator John McCain due to illness, proponents believe they will win on a 50-49 vote.

Glad that this passed.

 

We still have to give them hell though as the House may help the FCC kill net neutrality. We can't let up on the pressure.

This is insane. Any bets that the US will try to copy on that along with other regions?

 

 

EFF is concerned about it.

The source you linked to originally is an alt right one though... dammit. -_-

 

Just found out via Tumblr and saw another one of his vids after watching that one that was really concerning. Don't like him.
