FCC sets April 25 vote to restore net neutrality rules repealed under Ajit Pai.

The truly shocking thing to me is that any voters believe the ISP’s arguments and are … I guess fine with a portion of their monthly bills being earmarked for litigation to make their consumer experience ever worse.

Anyone who thinks internet regulation is a net negative hasn’t tried looking for a job in the past 15 years. Guaranteed full-speed access to job boards is essential in a way that classifieds never managed to achieve.

    It’s not that shocking; they often re-elect so-called “conservative” politicians who like to waste taxpayer dollars on avoidable litigation.
