It’s my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we’re paying for. I tried to switch to a mobile hotspot and my phone refuses to open one. Everyone responsible for this shit should be fed to alligators locked away in a fucking gulag. We have no rights and live in a corporate plutocracy.

    Two ways a carrier can restrict this:

    • If you buy the phone from your carrier, they can obviously restrict hardware functions that would otherwise be available on that phone.
    • If they analyze your traffic, they can try to distinguish between mobile traffic and other traffic and attempt to block non-mobile traffic.

      the second point feels highly suspect as most internet traffic is encrypted these days, and all ISPs could analyze is the domain you’re talking too, and the amount of traffic to each
