NET NEUTRALITY

They also undid a shitload of anti predatory practice laws designed to curb credit card companies and banks from robbing us blind and generally being unsavory scum.

So yay for corporate evil, I guess. Hey as long as the super rich are kept happy they might eventually share some, right? Right?

This very unpopular move by the FCC does not surprise me.

It's exactly the reason President Trump appointed that clown Ajit Pai to head the FCC. Pai promised to take a 'weed wacker' to 'Obama era net neutrality regulations' as one of his first official statements.

The only people who win with the reversal of net neutrality is the biggest platform corporations which have poured a lot of money into lobbying against the pro-consumer regulation. They say, as does Pai, that getting rid of net neutrality frees the internet again. It does just the opposite, in my opinion.

It lets the biggest players crowd out other industry players, slow down access to sites/apps and promote their competing sites/apps in the process, charge more for equal speed/access, etc. But, hey, it's a campaign promise next to which Trump can put a check mark.

That must be why Google is protesting it.
