Senate confirms Biden FCC pick as 5 Republicans join Democrats in 55-43 vote. Anna Gomez confirmation means “FCC can act swiftly to restore net neutrality.”::Anna Gomez confirmation means “FCC can act swiftly to restore net neutrality.”
That Cruz quote is insane. Net neutrality will not be easily sold to the public as “radically left-wing”. Nobody is going to believe that shit.
It literally has neutrality right in the name!
It’s not the name that makes it a centrist policy, it’s substance.
Hell, if policy names reflected their substance, then the GOP’s “protect children” initiatives would prioritize gun violence and not hating on RuPaul.
Yes, I know. Right on.
T-Mobile, a US mobile carrier, currently throttles video streams to 480p. It’s a pretty bad experience and I look forward to seeing it end.
Have 4 different devices on T-Mobile, all stream at 1080, no clue what you’re talking about.
During “peak hours” certain unlimited plans are throttled to 480p. It doesn’t always happen.
It will get a new name given to it. Each perspective develops their own terminology in order to make their opponents stances seem less appealing.
The Affordable Care Act became Obamacare, because the name instills a partisan lean. And gun control became gun violence prevention because politicians realized advocating for “_____ Control” sounds authoritarian.
Biden does good thing…means fcc can restore net neutrality. This is an awesome thing and a big fucking deal. Ted cruz makes a sensationalist statement crafted of pure horseshit. Every comment in this thread is about cruzs’ horseshit sculpture. This is why disinformation wins. Doesnt matter that youre criticizing cruz. He changed the narrative and effectively took a win for biden and has people discussing non-reality. Ignore the toddlers, get your country back.
Confirmation means she can, until it becomes clear that she isn’t going to.
Then the excuses will start. And centrists will say that anyone who remembers this article “doesn’t know how government works.”
I’m saying this now because I intend to link back to this comment when it happens.
Let me steal someone else’s thunder then, “you don’t know how the government works!”. I don’t know either so me saying this is meaningless, but at least we skipped the “excuses” part lol
Fuck yeah. Shove a banana up Ajit Pai’s ass while you’re at it.
Gotta remove the excessively large coffee mug first.
Ted Cruz can seriously pound some sand right now.
Question: can we expect net neutrality rules to change every 4/8 years with each new administration?
How will that impact everything, broadly speaking? Unstable rules and regs are hard to work around.
People were sending Ajit Pai death threats. Were they aware his rules would be reversed in4-8 years? It sure seemed serious a few years ago (not violently serious but a major issue for sure). I feel misled for not knowing regs will change real quick.
Just curious, I have no idea how this sort of thing works.
You can’t know the outcome of general elections ahead of time, so there’s no reason to feel misled.
I guess I meant I didn’t realize these things can and do swing back and forth with the political pendulum. It just felt more permanent ish than that, idk.
That’s the nature of politics both short and long term.
So we’re having American news shit everywhere now? Fantastic.

Yeah. America still heard a lot about GDPR. Because some policies just change the whole internet.
