Red alert! For the last six months, EFF, our supporters, and dozens of other groups have been sounding the alarm about several #BadInternetBills that have been put forward in Congress. We’ve made it clear that these bills are terrible ideas, but Congress is now considering packaging them together—possibly into must-pass legislation.
It’s so exhausting the constant fascist anti-privacy laws there are. You stop one, 5 more pop up in its place. Eventually some are going to pass from sheer exhaustion.
We fought for net neutrality for like a decade and a half and then Ajit Pai just killed it like a monarchy with supreme power and fucked off into retirement.
That made me so mad. It was so openly botted and gaslit. Not a single human being was against it that wasn’t part of a megacorp monopoly. It was just objectively bad. Just shows we straight up do not have a democracy, our votes meant nothing despite being one of the most widespread campaigns against it. I remember it was even the front page of google search to vote against it. That’s how you know how bad it was.
He received over 300,000 letters expressing support for net neutrality, complete with names, emails, physical addresses, and often phone numbers, and he dismissed all of them as spam. He knowingly voted against the will of the people for the benefit of a handful of corporations.
The funny part is he started working for a venture capital firm (Searchlight) after he left office that invested heavily in various isps and telcos. It’s like American politicians invented the most advanced bribery system and no one even blinks an eye, this is just disgusting.

This is why we need to add items to the Bill of Rights. We need to pass laws that explicitly prohibit such legislation.
I would love to see that. However that seems unlikely in the US as it is controlled by tech giants and the glowies
