Therefore, the 10th Amendment should apply.

This is clearly a interstate commerce issue. I can't see how this works any other way. Imagen if every state could regulate the internet. There would be no way providers could operate with 50 different sets of state regulations, many conflicting with other states.

I don't want to get into a situation where no IQ voters in California can dictate what the rest of the country can do.

That’s a fair point. But when you think of it, everything is potentially an interstate commerce issue. A farmer in Iowa sells wheat that ends up in Illinois. Therefore, the federal government can regulate that wheat.

The Founders were wary of a too-powerful central government. Hence the 10A. Unfortunately, the 10A has routinely been ignored. Excuses are always found. That’s very bad for the Republic.

Of course, your mileage may vary.
