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.
industry groups praised the decision, claiming it will boost innovation.
It's funny how they spell the word profits in a new trendy way.
The innovation is in new ways to screw over the consumer.
The Federal Communications Commission, lacks the authority? Then who has the authority. This is the same and sets a precedent for, say, cellular companies. Oh, your a Verizon customer, sorry you can't call this company.
You can thank the Supreme Court's 'Loper Bright' decision in June https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loper_Bright_Enterprises_v._Raimondo
Edit: Actually, you can thank Republicans. The agenda to privatize everything (for the benefit of Wall Street investors) has been in place for over 50 years. Essentially, the constitution says nothing about providing people internet access so that means either the states can do it themselves or it can go to a private corporation. I'm telling you, the next four years are going to be apocalyptic.
The problem is that there is no ambiguity in this case. It's 100% clear that Congress DID give this specific regulatory authority to the FCC and it takes an incredibly tortured legal argument to say otherwise. You can thank Loper Bright only for giving slight cover to these blatantly unlawful rulings.
I vote somebody set ups a DDOS attack on this judge's ISP and see how he feels about it after he can't get his Step-bro porn.
If they lack authority to reinstate... Then didn't they also lack the authority to remove the Obama era net neutrality protections in the first place?
Several things have changed recently, Chevron being the big one that comes to mind. Federal judges are basically gonna end up making a lot of decisions when these cases end up being pushed. The agencies have been defanged completely.
The oligarchs got your interwebs
Translation: court over steps boundaries, Trump's supreme court will uphold it on appeal, rich bastards get richer.
So it's yet another day ending with the letter Y.
Ok. So this is definately a seconded of that horrible ruling. ugh.
