I’m glad your saying these things as well. Actually, there’s more skeptical than I thought.
That ruling was awful
I am a longtime domain owner, webmaster, and developer. For us in the industry this is a huge dangerous precedent to set. It is the beginning of the end of the internet for all of us.
We already barely dodged a bullet with the National Internet real ID bill. We were just a couple votes away from having government literally own the internet in this country.
And this bill is an incremental step back right in that same direction. That one was absolutely insane compared to this one. And the only reason it did not pass is because there was too much public and industry opinion against it. What SCOTUS did here with this one was open the door for them to rehash and rerun the insane one again and claim that the “public even approves of us controlling the net”.
Nope, there should have been absolutely no support for this one at all. Now they have a stepping stone to bigger things. It was absolutely stupid...
What I can’t believe is how many are so hell bent on giving them these powers that will eventually take down the FR while the rest of us who understand it are trying to defend the future of the FR. Well when they lose it then it will be their own fault for allowing themselves to be played the fool by our government. They will have only themselves to blame for it.
