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.
When net neutrality was the law you could do that and the phone company couldn’t charge you. The company branded phone could just not support it. Before that it was ridiculously expensive, and now it depends on the company. Most post paid plans take it out of your fast data with no extra fee.
The legal basis for the FCC being able to enforce net neutrality has never applied to wireless carriers.
Wireless carriers were not allowed to throttle or block packets during the net neutrality era. That made them not be able to block tether device traffic. They could sell you a piece of shit device that didn’t allow you to tether but if you had something reasonable you got free tethering.

The purchased service is internet. I should be able to use it how I want, including supplying it to other devices through my phone. This is the equivalent of Netflix not letting us cast onto tvs.
Not sure what you are defending here, this is clearly unethical and gross corporate behavior.
I pay for mobile bandwidth, it shouldn’t matter to the carrier how I use it.
It would be the same as your ISP charging you extra for going to YouTube website.
