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.
Perhaps they meant to say limitation. It's weird how in my entire life, corpo always uses the same phrases, and learning from history, they have used them for so long. Even back during the AT&T antitrust in the 80s, they were bemoaning how innovation would be stifled if AT&T was broken up.
I can't wait to see innovations return like, listening to streaming music on your favorite app at work on Verizon, 5pm comes around. For some mysterious reason, your app stops streaming music. Launch Verizon's preferred streaming app. It works just fine! (Actual thing I experienced with daily frequency before net neutrality suddenly made their network perform like expected.)
But they also insist that competition breeds innovations when you propose the state just seize their unregulated utility
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 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.
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.
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.
The oligarchs got your interwebs
Ok. So this is definately a seconded of that horrible ruling. ugh.
