      To do that the current party in favor of removing rights needs to be kept out of power long enough that they conclude that removing rights is an electoral loser and changes their ideology accordingly.

      I’m not going to hold my breath.

      hopefully at least when ISPs and companies see that it’ll just be back and forth, and that things like “fast lanes” can’t be relied upon in business planning there just won’t be a market for it, or at least the fuckery will be significantly diminished because it’s not reliable long-term

      Ajit creamPai is just a puppet of the corporations, he’s a dick that’s corrupt and rubbing the fact that he’s corrupt in your face, but he’s just the most visible festering boil on the whole ugly face of our government.

    My internet is run by my coop power company, just a reminder that all the major ISPs took billions and promised fiber and then royalty fucked us, so now my internet is run by a rural power company.

    Call your power company and find out if they’re installing fiber. Support this move as it weakens Comcast and AT&T’s death grip.

    Net Neutrality has been taken away before and it can be taken away again. Just get with a coop. I’ve torrented literal terabytes without even an email telling me not to .
