And we're talking about how a (loose) organisation is branded, not the legal implications. The "backyard" in question is already one metaphor deep, for crying out loud. This is like complaining that Amazon has little to do wi

With that introduction, I was surprised that no reference was made to the Nika Riots, since they happened in the same place (in 532) and make footy hooliganism look like high tea. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/

Regulation is one of many tools that could be employed, and I don't mean to give smaller media outlets a free pass by focussing on the elephant in the room. "How do we educate our kids about this?" is a more innocuous one.

This is accurate. Net neutrality is a band-aid on an open wound. This is not to say that net neutrality should be done away with - stopping a bad thing from getting worse is, after all, what band-aids are for. The problem is the wound itsel
