Many many years ago I spoke with a commie whose two issues were ‘net neutrality’ and ‘rare earth elements’... From that time forward I took a knee jerk uninformed stance on both. Happens - I should have looked at it closer...
The problem was it was actually two part. One needed to go for business rights and lack of government control, and the other needed to stay to maintain our privacy protection.
Instead of a compromise they just got rid of the whole thing, and with it our protections that were in place with it. Greed over personal rights. But what is new?
They should have replaced back the privacy protections, but everyone hailed it as the best thing since sliced bread so these were forgotten about.
Now here we are... Your phone company and internet carriers have the legal right to sell away your privacy and data. Which has now lead to bad characters abusing it with ill intent. It is much worse than having net neutrality.
I fought against repealing it because of the privacy concerns. If they had promised to replace the protections back I would have supported repealing it. I screamed and holler on here about that difference back when.
I saw this result coming...
