Then it’s pretty clear that’s exactly what they should do.
Anytime big corporations say this, I just kind of laugh and say, "So...you have nothing to hide, right?"
It reminds me of a kid telling their parents not to check on something because they know they'll get in trouble.
Of a kid? Were you that kid? Lol I know I was that dumbass kid on many occasions.
My nephew was completely convinced that when he lied his nose would grow like Pinocchio's so when he lied he'd cover his nose.
Out of nowhere, my kid would say "No poop" and start backing away. Obviously, he was full of shit just like these ISPs.
Me: Where did you put it?
My son: runs to the spot and stands in the way, so i can't see
Me: checkmate!
Ironic that megacorps get privacy rights they don't deserve while the rest of us get jack shit and are told we should be grateful for it.
That's the difference between the ruling class and us peasants.
Is it... utility time??
No no, there's no need to look in that room. Should absolutely raise suspicion.
"Why does that room smell like rotting corpses?"
"No clue, let's promise to be friends forever by agreeing to never go into or ask about that room ever again!"
And police say that nobody should investigate police brutality
I'm hoping most of big tech and media get broken up
It's just hope though.
Unlikely since the FTC keeps letting them merge.
And it's not just tech. Pretty much everything you buy is from a brand that's owned by one of a handful of companies.
I mean that's not really true. The new FTC chair literally got the position by writing a paper on why Amazon should be broken up, and has raised numerous cases to stop recent M&A activity. One Meta/FB acquisition of a VR company, the Microsoft Blizzard/Activision buyout, among others. They've been shut down a lot by the courts.
My unlimited data plan in Albania cost $11/month. In China, $15.
Bandwidth is cheap
As unintuitive as it may seem, the price charged to customers has little to do with the costs of providing the service.
Good thing Comcast tries to raise my price every time I move. Eventually they assume people will get tired of it and quit trying. Guess what, I got tired of calling them every year about it.
Yeah I bet both halves of my scrotum they say that.
There is no war in Ba Sing Se.
This is more shocking than police investigating themselves and finding nothing wrong.
Yup. Totally not a suspicious statement from them....
internet providers investigate themselves, find no issues

This is the best summary I could come up with:
In 2021, Congress required the Federal Communications Commission to issue rules "preventing digital discrimination of access based on income level, race, ethnicity, color, religion, or national origin" within two years.
FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel last month released her draft plan to comply with the congressional mandate and scheduled a November 15 commission vote on adopting final rules.
Carr described Rosenworcel's proposal as "President Biden's plan to give the administrative state effective control of all Internet services and infrastructure in the US."
In a meeting with Rosenworcel's staff, cable company executives "stated that the Draft Order would impose overbroad liability standards that impede further broadband investment and are legally vulnerable by adopting a disparate impact rather than a disparate treatment liability approach," according to an ex parte filing submitted yesterday by cable lobby group NCTA-The Internet & Television Association.
The cable companies said the FCC "should define digital discrimination as disparate treatment and should limit the standard to policies and practices involving the deployment of broadband network facilities.
"Commission evaluation of price is unnecessary in the competitive wireless marketplace and may deter offering discounts and enticements to switch providers that consumers enjoy today."

I caught a trespasser the other day that said it wasn't him. Totally believed him too /s
Pay nooo attention to the man bahind the curtain!!

Oh, okay then
Sadly, it probably won't be looked into. ISP's are at a "too big to fail" point in the US, and that lets them do pretty much whatever they want. Like airlines.
Then it’s pretty clear that’s exactly what they should do.

Yup, because they have infinite shit to hide 😂
