[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 4162321, member: 35036"] They already have the tricks up their sleeve so do as they see fit, without votes or oversight, and it’s way worse than this FCC thing. Just look into: CALEA act (drafted by ol Joe himself back in 1995 or 1996), required communication companies to install weaknesses in software and hardware so that the government can access private citizens stuff whenever they please. the patriot act, drafted by President Bush allowed for mass data gathering on American citizens, tracking of Americans, no fly lists, financial transaction scrutiny, and warrant less surveillance of anyone the government pleases. 2008 FISA Amendments Act, passed while Obama was in office. This allows for a secret court to allow intelligence gathering, more or less widening the span of the patriot act and increasing its power. FAIRVIEW, the NSA program that intercepts everything transmitted on ATT networks. [URL unfurl="true"]https://theintercept.com/2018/06/25/att-internet-nsa-spy-hubs/[/URL] Etc etc etc. The point is that there’s an awful lot of things to be mad about and that we should be speaking out about. This recent ruling isn’t the beginning, it’s closer to the end. [/QUOTE]
