Before anyone jumps on this guy’s bandwagon cuz its fuck musk sentiment, look at his proposal from a net neutrality perspective. The chairman who opposed passing 2017’s title II net neutrality legislation is proposing more crack downs on everyone’s access to alternate ISP options.
THE FCC HAS AMD ALWAYS WILL BE IN THE POCKET OF THE MAJOR INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS WHOSE MAIN GOAL IS TO BOTTLENECK EVERYONE INTO ONLY HAVING ACCESS TO THE INTERNET THROUGH ONE PROVIDER FOR AN AREA SO THEY CAN IMPLEMENT POLICIES LIKE BADWIDTH THROTTLING, CENSORSHIP AND ELIMINATING PIRATING CHANNELS. The only defense we have against losing net neutrality is by lowering their customer retention rates when customers jump to other companies. Which is only effective when there aren’t regulations limiting the number of competing providers.
There are plenty of reasons and justifications for saying fuck musk but this is not one that is worth the potential cost to your net neutrality.
