When the idiotic arguments about them both being the same were going on, there was a long list of horrors being prepared for this country.

You WILL lose fair access to the internet and a WHOLE lot more, will you learn? I say you I dont mean SHRED or most of us here, most, not all of us here have learned or didnt need to.

From NPR:

The five-member FCC has a Republican majority, including Pai, suggesting that his plan — called "The Restoring Internet Freedom Order" — will pass. As with various iterations of the rules over the past decade, the rules would likely face a lawsuit. The 2015 rules were the first version to be upheld in court in full.

It's not just venal profit seeking. This is very dangerous for democracy.

Well, when we get power again, time to make the internet a utility.
