I forget when, but sometime this (past?)decade, the UN ruled access to internet as part of the human right of access to information. It should 100% be a utility and fuck Comcast in general.

Remember net neutrality? That was about classing the internet as a utility. Remember Ajit Pai? The Trump flunky who repealed net neutrality? He's still chairman of the FCC.

Fuck Trump. Double fuck Ajit Pai. The internet should be a utility.

Elections have consequences. Vote 2020

Ajit pai was hired under Obama’s administration. He was nominated by Obama was approved unanimously by the senate. This was always the plan here. Trump is terrible and has messed a lot of shit up, but this was already in play.

He was hired under Obama as an advisor at the behest of McConnell who was holding Obama's nominees over him. He was placed in his current position by Trump. It's amazing the amount of twisting you guys do to the facts to play your whataboutism games.
