Amazing how much the US judiciary branch seems to hate the plebs.
Republicans have spent the last 40 years purchasing the entire system, obviously it works for them. They're the ones that paid for it.
Note that it piggybacks on the SCROTUS decision earlier about preventing government from protecting anything from industry.
God our government is so fucking useless for anything that might actually help people.
this is a direct consequence of the Supreme Court overturning the Chevron deference back in June. the appeals court has to apply the law. so you know who to blame.
expect more cases like this in coming years...
Sarcastically speaking, if they want white only public bathrooms, that would be interesting. On the one hand people gave up their lives for us to have the freedom to go in the same places as white people. On the other hand... Its public restrooms!
One could go for a hundred years and not touch this shit. But nah. Some dirtbag judge asshole actively working to fuck us all over.
This isn't "our government" these are the oligarch's meatbags purchased for surprisingly low dollar amounts. These men (and women that silently stand next to them until they are told they are allowed to speak) are cowards and traitors. They are not "our government"
Your post is the right energy, wrong message.
If the FCC can't regulate anything I guess I'll just run a high power jammer and block all cell signal in the area.
Wait! You will get in trouble for that. Instead you need to have an LLC that does that for Profit somehow. Then all is forgiven!
Their excuse is that telecom services aren’t actually providing telecom services, but information services.
If that doesn’t make sense to you, it’s because you aren’t brain-damaged.
Courted reclassified the services to remove FCC ability to regulate telecos?
Talk about bad faith behavior.
All laws protecting the people's interests are now banned. Don't like it? Well become a billionaire and maybe the supreme Court will care

I mean, this is a terrible (if unsurprising) decision, but I'm left wondering how Brendan Carr is going to still try to claim regulatory authority over social media companies...
There is no possible consistency between "ISPs can throttle and block, but edge services cannot..." nilay patel @reckless.bsky.social

comes a time when blue states just need to draw the line and flat out refuse to follow federal laws and judges until federal judges stop being corrupt.
They do it for marijuana laws but won’t treat anything else like that. I don’t understand.
long-winded sigh
I really ought to set up that community meshnet I keep thinking about setting up...
Is this really shocking with the incoming sadministration?
That's not a typo.
In its opinion, a three-judge panel pointed to a Supreme Court decision in June, known as Loper Bright, that overturned a 1984 legal precedent that gave deference to government agencies on regulations.
“Applying Loper Bright means we can end the F.C.C.’s vacillations,” the court ruled.
"Nyyeaahh nyyeaah nyyeaaaahh ppffthhhhthhth!!" they said.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
