Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Brendan Carr has worked very hard to obstruct the passing and quality of Net Neutrality law. I guarantee it’ll be repealed again. Get ready for the return of data caps and content throttling.

"This utility-style regulation will slow down rural broadband builds."
What a load of shit. As someone who lives in a rural part of Washington, can confirm that Comcast makes no fucking effort whatsoever to bring internet out here. They could give two fucks about building new lines and only care about dominating existing copper shit.
God this makes me so mad. Fuck these assholes for making the internet actively worse for consumers.
What? You don't enjoy the prospect of having to pay significantly more for crappier satellite connections? Just another reason Elon is so involved - he wants to speed up the ROI for Starlink.
Don't forget mutual agreements by major established ISPs not to encroach on each other's territory and actually have to *gasp* compete!
Google tried to bring fiber to Phoenix, and we're mostly locked out by Cox.
