- acheron 3y agoIt was always a con. A regulation had been in place since 2015, they repealed it in 2017, it never mattered. Some politicians tricked people into screaming about it, and I’m sure they were able to get some fundraising because of the screaming.
- WarOnPrivacy 3y ago> It was always a con. A regulation had been in place since 2015, they repealed it in 2017, it never mattered. This sounds like one of the pregurgitated anti-neutrality mantra. Specifically, the one that ignores the many growing trends (caps, prioritization, purposeful peering congestion) before neutrality and how those trends mostly paused when neutrality was passed. It also ignores what ISPs know - that not every administration has full-throated support for anti-consumer practices. That is, not every admin will provide the cover ISPs need to get consumers used to increasing mistreatment. Better to keep the pause on consumer harms in place until a friendlier environment can be secured for the long term. Meanwhile it's still safe screw consumers on other fronts. One is further entrenching ISP monopoly/duopoly positions by having lobbyists write state anti-munibroadband laws for paid legislators to pass.
