They're nothing like utilities and it makes no sense to treat them that way.
Instead the u.s. needs laws that protect user digital rights, and all companies should have to adhere to those laws, not just big ones.
- sethammons 2y agoThat could have a huge chilling effect on start ups, indi devs, and hobbyists
- ImHereToVote 2y agoNot at all, smaller players would be exempt. Only if the service becomes massive enough and starts to police their users with secret courts in this way do they get treated like a utility.
- pjc50 2y ago> smaller players would be exempt Yesterday we had the discussion on FCC rules, and CE marking, from which small players are not exempt. There's no reason to assume there would be de minimis exemptions, there aren't for the GDPR.

- TomK32 2y agoI don't see the harm for start ups to think about their user's rights early on. Better it becomes part of their Startup DNA than having to learn it later and adopt their company.
