I don't get your point, even if no one does do it, why repeal the protection? It's effort and time wasted just to create a potential for something bad to happen

Even if you think this will never be abused, I don't see how it's being blown out of proportion, this is still bad.
- xienze 10y ago> I don't see how it's being blown out of proportion Really? Where was all the hyperventilating about the status quo on HN prior to when the protection was put in place? That's all I'm getting at, the reaction to being back in the dark ages of late 2016 seems a bit overblown in my opinion.
- unlikelymordant 10y agoThe ftc was the protection prior to the fcc. Now there is no protection. This is a regression.
- triangleman 10y agoFTC can still regulate ISP's after this bill passes, if I understand it correctly. Edit: Nope, apparently this just nullifies the FCC rule, it's not an actual bill to change authority away from FCC. D'oh.
