Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

If you're quiet and listen closely, you can hear Ted Stevens grumbling about tubes from his grave.
.....Not a big truck....
Spirituals and Gospel and the likes?
Guys they really really just want to be able to lower their prices but we just. won't. let. them. Gee gosh, guys. Think of the ISPs and their sweet little hearts. They totally won't offer discounted low-cap options that then rake in record profits from overage fees from low-income households, guys! They promise!
More good things! I know Trump has by best interest at heart! /s
Good for what exactly? Net neutrality is a guarantee all traffic is treated equal. Like I will prioritize xitter over other services ? Heck even a reason to start blocking it under the excuse of "to preserve network performance and experience"
Usenet and an on-site NAS agree with me, any data cap below 10 TB/mo. is a non-starter.
Are the tubes full?!
Companies: "I really really just want to be able to make less money!"
Me:
Republicans:
Rosenworcel is chairperson until July, so why don't they try to eliminate them anyway (or at any point since she took over in 2020)? Seems disingenuous to claim the new guy is going to stop the removal of data caps when the current leadership hasn't done it either. I'll have had to pay $1800 to Comcast to remove my data cap over the course of her 5 year term as FCC chair.
