FCC to get Republican majority and plans to “delete” as many rules as possible
Welp, there goes the internet, for Americans at least. Hello censorship, throttling, bundle pricing and domain blocking.
Look, as an American technophile and web services developer, it would be the best thing for us. Just turn the Internet off. It was a bad fucking idea. Force people to interact with the people around them instead of self-selecting their social circle.
The internet wasn't a bad idea, we just somehow failed to see how letting billionaires seize the reins of a new global media empire could go badly - despite it being a story as old as time by now...
They’re not going to shut it off, just silence anything but their own views.
Just set up a high-powered 6ghz radio and sublet your internet. FCC won’t have anyone to enforce laws.
It's worse than that. Iirc everytime republicans gain 2 out of 3 of Congress / Senate / president, they rip up enough regulations to cause a global recession.
Thanks, America for taking a shit on the world. Again.
All the more reason to look at local mesh networking. Yeah you aren't going to be streaming Netflix. But you will be able to access the services you need that require it.
I think that most people want Internet connectivity, not just local connectivity.
Am I right to think that local mesh networking can only be done if you have a whole bunch of other people in your town who are into local mesh networking? Are there projects to help people build this up?
