I mean criminals do know a lot about crime. maybe they are right?

If you just leave the criminals alone and let them do as they please they’ll regulate themselves. A criminal justice system is just unnecessary and expensive administrative overhead. It stifles the free market.

No no, there’s no need to look in that room. Should absolutely raise suspicion.

“Why does that room smell like rotting corpses?”
“No clue, let’s promise to be friends forever by agreeing to never go into or ask about that room ever again!”

I’m hoping most of big tech and media get broken up
It’s just hope though.

Unlikely since the FTC keeps letting them merge.
And it’s not just tech. Pretty much everything you buy is from a brand that’s owned by one of a handful of companies.

I mean that’s not really true. The new FTC chair literally got the position by writing a paper on why Amazon should be broken up, and has raised numerous cases to stop recent M&A activity. One Meta/FB acquisition of a VR company, the Microsoft Blizzard/Activision buyout, among others. They’ve been shut down a lot by the courts.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
In 2021, Congress required the Federal Communications Commission to issue rules “preventing digital discrimination of access based on income level, race, ethnicity, color, religion, or national origin” within two years.
FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel last month released her draft plan to comply with the congressional mandate and scheduled a November 15 commission vote on adopting final rules.
Carr described Rosenworcel’s proposal as “President Biden’s plan to give the administrative state effective control of all Internet services and infrastructure in the US.”
In a meeting with Rosenworcel’s staff, cable company executives “stated that the Draft Order would impose overbroad liability standards that impede further broadband investment and are legally vulnerable by adopting a disparate impact rather than a disparate treatment liability approach,” according to an ex parte filing submitted yesterday by cable lobby group NCTA-The Internet & Television Association.
The cable companies said the FCC "should define digital discrimination as disparate treatment and should limit the standard to policies and practices involving the deployment of broadband network facilities.
“Commission evaluation of price is unnecessary in the competitive wireless marketplace and may deter offering discounts and enticements to switch providers that consumers enjoy today.”

Sadly, it probably won’t be looked into. ISP’s are at a “too big to fail” point in the US, and that let’s them do pretty much whatever they want. Like airlines.

Yup, because they have infinite shit to hide 😂
octavio_dingus@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Then it’s pretty clear that’s exactly what they should do.
CosmicTurtle@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Anytime big corporations say this, I just kind of laugh and say, “So…you have nothing to hide, right?”

It reminds me of a kid telling their parents not to check in something because they know they’ll get in trouble.
