[–] falsem@kbin.social 20 points 2 years ago (1 child) It's consistent with stances on things like network neutrality. ISPs suck, are a monopoly in most areas, and I don't trust them to make these judgement calls. If we had actual competition in the space in the US then I'd care less. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Kwakigra@beehaw.org 8 points 2 years ago To add to this I don't think under any circumstances a for-profit business should be responsible for this kind of regulation. An ISP as a business has the main goal of maximising profit, and whatever they do would only be in service to that goal. This is aside from the fact that they're completely unelected which gives the public little recourse. This should be the government's job. permalink fedilink source parent
