Exactly why net neutrality was important

Obligatory fuck ajit pai

Has Biden made this a priority?

Is he still in charge?

That's literally in the article, Rosenworcel has been in charge for a while now. The net neutrality laws that she and Biden enacted are not as strong as the Obama era laws.

Yeah I know, the whole point was we should be working on holding our own accountable now. Biden running around gleefully shouting he is a capitalist and he's going to ensure people pay their fair share in taxes, while the rich still avoid taxes and inflation targets the middle class doesn't help. Not to mention that the average home price in many cities for a basic 3 bedroom house is nearing a million dollars.

Looks like no: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajit_Pai

So, its really Bidens fault at this point. Its an FCC thing, so he has full authority to do whatever the fuck he wants.

I agree Ajit MiPants is a piece of shit, but I don't hear Biden saying he is going to make Internet a utility anytime soon.

Doesn't matter what he does with regard to FCC appointments since the next guy can just undo it again.
