- throwawayjava 9y agoSorry, but I think you're being naive if you think that the people complaining most loudly about an "FCC power grab" are attempting to achieve anything other than deregulation.
- callmeisnaive 9y agosame poster, new throwaway - call me naive all you want, but bear witness to the fact that they did it the wrong way, and people are now fucking with it. I didn't make a moral proclamation, so I'm not sure why you'd think signalling a virtue would be a response. If you set up regulation in a way that can be easily repealed on a power switch, you fucked up, regardless of how you perceive the morality of the situation
- johnhenry 9y agoSo, it seems like you're advocating doing "the wrong thing the right way"?
- throwawayjava 9y ago> If you set up regulation in a way that can be easily repealed on a power switch I've been sending emails like the one I sent today for more than a decade. The FCC power grab complaint is rhetoric. If the FTC had enforced, we'd be talking about claims of an FTC power grab. If Congress had stepped up to the plate, we'd be hearing about how we need to "repeal and replace Obamanet". If you think diddling with jurisdictional setup means I won't be sending these emails for another decade, you're naive. That's not how democracy works.
