If the US Government wants to place limits on certain fees, they should pass a law limiting such fees.
Meanwhile, it's a bit hypocritical for the US Government to accuse private corporations of ‘highway robbery’ when they themselves are committing (or failing to outlaw) literal highway robbery in the form of civil forfeiture.
- AnthonyMouse 6y ago> Meanwhile, it's a bit hypocritical for the US Government to accuse private corporations of ‘highway robbery’ when they themselves are committing (or failing to outlaw) literal highway robbery in the form of civil forfeiture. Indeed it is. So they should address both, not use the current existence of one to excuse the other.
- sjwright 6y agoTo be clear, I wasn't saying that one excused the other. I was only commenting on the congressperson's poor choice of words.
- mirekrusin 6y agoThat's what they want to do, it will probably end up like that - Apple and others will be capped to how much fees they can charge. EU did this for roaming charges already.
