FCC chair Jessica Rosenworcel has announced the agency’s plans to restore net neutrality protections. Previous rules, which prevented ISPs from blocking or throttling specific websites, were nixed in 2017 under the Trump administration.
let’s do it Congress!
I can see this being an on-again/off-again situation for a long time. When Rs are in power they’ll remove it, and when Ds are in power they’ll restore it. We need something like this to be enshrined in the law of the land, but more and more it feels like that isn’t ever going to be possible as everything will be open to re-interpretation forever.
Next time Rs are in power they are likely to remove democracy from the equation and we won’t see another period of Democrats in power.

I suspect that if we taught our people to value education, and made it easily available to them, we wouldn’t need to enshrine this particular issue (or many others for that matter) in law.
You cannot teach an extremist to value an education when education destroys extremism.
At a certain point people have to be simply told they are wrong and made to acquiesce to the will of the majority. This is one of those instances.
Fuck Ajit Pai forever. Bless Jessica Rosenworcel.
I hope someone at the FCC pissed in his giant mug before he left.
