Gericht hebt US-amerikanische Netzneutralitätsregeln auf; Die Regierung kann das Internet nicht so nutzen, als wäre es ein Versorgungsunternehmen

Twitter is going to be so much better when you have to pay by the megabyte

“Government Cannot Internet” sounds about right.

That was also the rule in Trump’s last term.  What bad things happened as a result?  (Not being snide — just don’t know.)

A judgment that was well paid for, I can guarantee.

Dang. America you suck bro

Internet is a utility

We are SO fucked.

There are really two Americas. And I’m not talking about income inequality, or how the justice system works differently depending on access to high-quality legal counsel. I am talking about how Americans live in an America the way they *believe* things work, versus the America where things *actually* work.

This is an example. If you ask the average voter if they think it’s OK for Comcast to prioritize NBC content over Netflix, they’ll respond, “They can’t do that.” This is because Americans just assume that there are rules in place that make Comcast doing this nonsensical. But there aren’t.

Another example of this is the dairy farmer who voted for Trump, who uses undocumented labor on his dairy farm. He stated that if all his workers were deported, his dairy would cease to exist. He said that he relied on his representatives to act responsibly, *even though he specifically voted for people to not do that.* This is because he lives in a world where more sane voters (i.e. DEMOCRATS) vote for people who look out for the American people, and they will always be there to protect him–because that is what’s happened in the past, as far as he knows. He doesn’t explicitly know that Democratic voters protect him, he just knows he votes GOP and things operate as they always have, and he can hate all the people he hates but go on living the same way, year after year.

Or pollution. A mining company dumps their waste water in a river, polluting the water supply. “They can’t do that!” Well, yes, they can. See, the mining company uses a new process that creates a toxic chemical that’s in the water, but a judge with zero training in chemistry or public health has ruled that because there is no law that prevents dumping that chemical *specifically*, the EPA is powerless to prevent it.

Or birth control. A woman lives in a small town with one pharmacy, and she needs to take birth control to regulate her hormone levels, or prevent pregnancy because a pregnancy could kill her. The pharmacist is against birth control, so he will not fulfill her prescription because it violates his personal beliefs. *That woman cannot have the medication her doctor prescribed now, because the pharmacist has issues with it.* “They can’t do that!” Yes, they can.

It goes on and on.

Majority of Americans have no clue about the implications. They’re too busy chanting FJB

Consequence of Loper Bright, if this is going to happen then Congress will need to do it.

Which uh . . . good luck. Bought and paid for, the lot of em.
