It’s because Congress is still stuck in the 1980s and mostly use POTS to do things. This is obvious in how concerned they are about the phone system, but willing to completely gut the Internet (net neutrality) — because they don’t use the Internet so have no idea about it. They still use phone calls for everything, so they’re getting hit directly on their personal devices with these calls. They can’t just ignore all unknown calls like most people do.
- alentist 7y ago> willing to completely gut the Internet (net neutrality) Oh please. The internet hasn’t been “gutted”. Far from it. It’s getting faster. It’s getting cheaper. It’s becoming more widely available. Do you have any evidence, anything at all, that the internet has been “gutted”? And you’re going to tell me with a straight face that the internet has been “gutted” for the vast majority of its existence? Don’t be ridiculous.
