But not the ones regarding morality. Just the ones that prevent corporations from fucking over consumers
Can’t wait until we’re forced to access the internet exclusively through starlink!
This is what happens when you lose elections.
I’m guessing the “do not call” list goes out the window, not that it actually changes much anyhow.
cant rely on law to protect you anymore
Goodbye net neutrality.
Won’t it be so much fun when you have to pay for website “bundles” like they’re TV channels? The web is getting so centralized that maybe they’ll stop offering connections to anything other than Facebook and Shitter if you don’t pay for “unlimited” access.
Would be kinda convenient to make it harder to access fediverse platforms, or anywhere else that doesn’t moderate against any ideas to the left of Reagan.
We can still fight back on the state level. States and local levels will lead the way for progress here
California got a state law to enforce net neutrality in 2018. This is a good part of what limited the damage of Trump overturning it the first time

I already can’t access Pornhub in my state. Some states will lead the way for progress, others will be regressive as hell.
(It’s funny, because the stuff you can see on e621 and Gelbooru can be way more disturbing than anything on Pornhub, but both are still accessible).
That’s always been the issue with laws like this, just causes people to find worse things.
Banning alcohol lead to people dying from bootleg. Making drugs illegal lead to things like people huffing paint (maybe cost too).
Considering the amount of damage some of the things cause to people, I really do wonder what lengths people will go to, to continue indulging on their brain rot. Yes please, bundle all of the shitty social media platforms possible and put a $40 tag on it. Let’s see how many people are willing to pay, to spread their toxicity and radicalized ideas. I would love to see the stats on that.
Also Net Neutrality is kind of dead already.
The bad sites are likely the ones to not require a fee to access. It would be smaller sites and the Fediverse that would become more difficult and expensive to access.
Why pay to access Mastodon or Lemmy when you can use Twitter and Reddit for “free”. It’s a scheme that would benefit large corporations over smaller independent services.
