I like having a FCC that is actually working for the public, and not lobbyists. This is nice.
The Trump / Ajit Pai days sucked.
Fuck Ajit Pai
- And the oversized Reese's coffee mug he rode in on.
  
  Or better yet, with it.
This is great but also decades late.
- That's how it goes with a government of one party who only wants bad things and one that wants some good things but extremely slowly so it doesn't upset their owner donors too much.
Can it extend to ISPs too? Please. And automakers, and any company?
So I assume the fascist knobs will initiate a law suit to block this.
I'm in favor of this, but how did it pass when "two out of four commissioners voted against the measure"?
- Should say two out of five. A third Democrat was approved earlier this year
