I think that’s a stretch for something that has a positive impact and is done by a group outside of Congressional gridlock.

We should celebrate the win and push for stronger protections. We should definitely not given into apathy and give up.

That man should be in prison! He created regulations that benefits ISPs and then gets a job working at one.

I’m more concerned they’ll fuck it up.

I hope this isn’t a “Net Neutrality, oh and we’ll also spy on you for the good of humanity” bill

It’s why my daughter is now using a VPN before it’s necessary to.

KOSA has terrifying implications, and it’s kind of fucked how little we are hearing it be discussed. Which leads me to believe many don’t know about it.

Main stream media is balls. The latest war is a great distraction. The only way I hear about these things is social media and independent YouTube news channels.
