I do not know anyone who thinks we would be better off with less internet for more damn money, except for corporate lobbyists.

"Trump’s F.C.C. Pick Quickly Targets Net Neutrality Rules" from the NYT a couple of days ago.

Why anyone would want their ISP to be able to control what they see is beyond me. This all has that "truthiness" or "alternative facts" ring to me.

Censorship? Sounds like China or North Korea to me. I can write that without worry of insulting anyone because I know no one in either of those places can see this post.

I know where I live, and have never expected privacy. A decent price, that I do expect out of the bastards no matter who is office.

The new guy wiped a deal to drop the cost of phone calls to inmates. Easy group to target, but the bottom line is he is acting in favor of the corporate over the people with the issue. Seems like it takes a bit more than a dime to phone home if you get locked up any more. Agit Pai is the new guy and he has a long track record of voting in favor of the 'industry'.

On Tuesday, the House narrowly voted to allow internet providers to sell your web browsing history and other personal information. The vote will give companies like Verizon, Comcast and AT&T more power to collect people’s sensitive data, including their internet browsing history, and to sell this information.

95% of comments were by pro corporate net bot, in favor of gutting net neutrality.
Big corporate has already been charging us way more for way less than first world countries.
