Why would Verizon or Comcast agree to do that? The ISPs are the one's pushing to have these kinds of consumer protections removed in the first place. They're not going to start a campaign of harassment against those who agree with

Yeah, I'm not necessarily a fan of Thiel, but there's an unjustified hysteria growing about him that seems like the left's version of Soros hysteria. Any time I see Thiel mentioned, people seem to want to twist his words into

Okay. That's not illegal and there's no evidence of bribery. My congressman also fought for net neutrality and I also gave him money. In fact, I gave him money because I wanted him to fight for net neutrality for me.

I can't imagine it'd be all that different from existing laws on using the "likeness" of a person in movies, TV, or advertising. All you'd have to do is extend that list to third-party financial institutions and on
