  Goodbye net neutrality.

  Won’t it be so much fun when you have to pay for website “bundles” like they’re TV channels? The web is getting so centralized that maybe they’ll stop offering connections to anything other than Facebook and Shitter if you don’t pay for “unlimited” access.

  Would be kinda convenient to make it harder to access fediverse platforms, or anywhere else that doesn’t moderate against any ideas to the left of Reagan.

    We can still fight back on the state level. States and local levels will lead the way for progress here

    California got a state law to enforce net neutrality in 2018. This is a good part of what limited the damage of Trump overturning it the first time

      I already can’t access Pornhub in my state. Some states will lead the way for progress, others will be regressive as hell.

      (It’s funny, because the stuff you can see on e621 and Gelbooru can be way more disturbing than anything on Pornhub, but both are still accessible).

  I’m guessing the “do not call” list goes out the window, not that it actually changes much anyhow.

    It already has. I have gotten more spam calls in 2025 than I’ve gotten in the 5 or 10-ish years prior to that.

  This is what happens when you lose elections.

  Can’t wait until we’re forced to access the internet exclusively through starlink!

  But not the ones regarding morality. Just the ones that prevent corporations from fucking over consumers
