        We already know they do that. If they can’t directly for any legal reason that they don’t want to admit violating, they’ll just have one of our allies do it for them via their foreign intelligence sevices. Snowden gave us the proof of that a decade ago.

        Neither private companies nor the government should be collecting data from/about citizens without probable cause and due process.

        That could all be codified into the regulations that classify internet as a public infrastructure service.

        You do realize they have a law that requires the phone companies to run a phone line no matter where you build in the USA right? Requiring the ISPs to uphold stipulations like this is a good thing.

        Also, NSA…

          Recently saw a report on cocaine, apparently the prices haven’t changed since the 1990s… just the purity has gone down and it now comes laced with fentanyl.

    In my native country gigabit fiber internet is less than $9/mo. Broadband prices in the US are absolutely ridiculous.

    My three year old often says “Dad don’t look!” When he does that, I know for a fact he’s doing something he shouldn’t be doing.

    If any business tells the government that it should not look to closely into it’s practices, then you know that there is something that needs to be brought to the light and corrected.

    I agree, the FCC shouldn’t waste time investigating broadband prices. Just nationalize them. And the rest of infrastructure.

    I’ve been a big fan of my internet provider for not playing these games, until this year. Them: “ you owe more every month”, me: “you’re raising prices?”, them: “no, prices remain the same and you can continue on your existing plan, but you need to pay more”

    🤣🤣😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣 Not biased at all. I have a $20 price lock on spectrum ATM, but as soon as that ends I’m going to say goodbye and get 5G because I’m not paying $50 for fixed internet they have a monopoly in the area I’ve moved to.
