If it gets too crappy, you stop paying for it and leave. This was always a luxury.

The Government controls everything, it only took 200 or so years.

"four score and seven years"

Abraham Lincoln made the Federal government into the total control nutcase it is now.

Captain James T. Kirk: Captain’s log, Stardate 11.16.23:

I’ve never trusted Klingons, and I never will. It seems to me our mission to escort the Chancellor of the Klingon High Council to a peace summit is problematic at best. Spock says this could be an historic occasion, and I’d like to believe him, but how on earth can we survive if the Klingons take over the internet????

Most likely the case or controversy that results in a declaration of unconstitutionality by an Article III Court will arise out of an outrageous enforcement action against a person or company ready, willing, and able to defend their rights.

5 unelected people decided this. If not overturned it’s all over for us.

We need to return to the constitutional fact that only congress can make federal laws...

..and those law are only valid if they are pursuant to the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended.

The law does not matter anymore.

the FCC will need to have an underlying statute passed by Congress...

...IF that statute is pursuant to the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended. Otherwise it is an invalid federal statute. MANY federal statutes are unconstitutional and, thus, invalid.

Remember THE U.S. CONSTITUTION is the Supreme Law of the Land.

"FCC would have the power to regulate customer-premises equipment, use of customer credit."

They'll say "we can't end internet discrimination without mandating the implementation of a digital ID."

Here’s hoping when they go after Elon Musk, he will sue, sue sue.

The Internet is international. The FCC can’t control what I write and post from Israel anymore than the EPA can control fishing trawlers in the Baltic Sea. There’s no basis for jurisdiction.

Actually only 3 voted for it. Not long ago these people would have been strung up. Maybe that's what we need to start doing.

Who asked them to decide for us?

I don’t want the government to have full control of ANYTHING.
