          I take issue only with “- People doing illegal things” because that argument has been used over and over to rape our privacy to death. Think “If you’ve done nothing wrong you’ve got nothing to hide” mindset.

          I don’t have a problem with “- Monopoly doing illegal things”. Monopoly is not a person.

        We already know they do that. If they can’t directly for any legal reason that they don’t want to admit violating, they’ll just have one of our allies do it for them via their foreign intelligence sevices. Snowden gave us the proof of that a decade ago.

        Neither private companies nor the government should be collecting data from/about citizens without probable cause and due process.

        That could all be codified into the regulations that classify internet as a public infrastructure service.

        You do realize they have a law that requires the phone companies to run a phone line no matter where you build in the USA right? Requiring the ISPs to uphold stipulations like this is a good thing.

        Also, NSA…

          Recently saw a report on cocaine, apparently the prices haven’t changed since the 1990s… just the purity has gone down and it now comes laced with fentanyl.

        Because the ISPs don’t want to have to do what we made them do for phone lines. Even though the trillion dollars we have given them over the last 30 years should have come with that stipulation…but they took that money and bought our politicians with it.

    In my native country gigabit fiber internet is less than $9/mo. Broadband prices in the US are absolutely ridiculous.

    My three year old often says “Dad don’t look!” When he does that, I know for a fact he’s doing something he shouldn’t be doing.

    If any business tells the government that it should not look to closely into it’s practices, then you know that there is something that needs to be brought to the light and corrected.

    I agree, the FCC shouldn’t waste time investigating broadband prices. Just nationalize them. And the rest of infrastructure.

        Oh god the wipe transitions. I remember when the original trilogy was being remade into… I think the Gold version? I watched bts stuff and George was explaining how they’d added wipes to the scene transitions. Like, cool new CGI and all, but maybe adding wipes over the entire thing is kind of taking the piss.

    I’ve been a big fan of my internet provider for not playing these games, until this year. Them: “ you owe more every month”, me: “you’re raising prices?”, them: “no, prices remain the same and you can continue on your existing plan, but you need to pay more”
