The Federal Communications Commission voted 3–2 to impose net neutrality rules today, restoring the common-carrier regulatory framework enforced during the Obama era and then abandoned while Trump was president.

The rules prohibit Internet service providers from blocking and throttling lawful content and ban paid prioritization.

"Consumers have made clear to us they do not want their broadband provider cutting sweetheart deals, with fast lanes for some services and slow lanes for others," FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel said at today's meeting.

Are you guys taking up your pitchforks again?

... I'm debating whether to take up my "special occasion" pitchfork or my "pokabitch" pitchfork. The first is for normal rallies, and the latter is for serious events. I'm leaning towards the latter. Which one are you bringing?

I can't recall the time that Americans brought the latter pitchforks against politicians for a good cause, because the January 6 insurrection does not count.

The Jan 6 was a bitchfest. Not a protest.

New to pitchforks, any reccomendations?

Neck if you’re feeling merciful, stomach for the evil bastards.

I'd recommend a medium-sized rifle with detachable magazines, personally. Pitchforks are limited to melee range only.

Ask French. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Revolution

It's a fun thing to talk about but everyone seems to forget that historically, that didn't actually end that well.

Eat the rich, yes, but you need to have a plan first for what comes after.

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago

not having them seems like it would be a pretty good start if you asked me.

But yes, a plan would be in good order at that rate.

We need a real world history lesson about the French Revolution. I volunteer the lobbyists play the monarchy.
