I don't believe you are for real. Not that some people aren't stupid enough to make such a comment, but i am feeling it is more likely you are just trolling.
They have long been not so much sticking their finger, but simply ignoring everyone, in this department. This includes the licensed infringement scheme. It's not so much about the infringement, and more about the license to publish. Aside from maintaining general control, this allows for rewarding or punishing individuals via licensing, and more easily repressing things that are out of favor at some particular time. There is a long history of this with printed books.
Yes, i remember when it went up. Mostly due to "creation science" cranks.
Of course, "the left", in their view, is frequently the former right, from which they seem to be receding at somewhere near 0.5c. "Kill a Commie for Mommy" Reagan would be some kind of communist in their book if they actually had to deal with a live version, as opposed to the beatified state he currently occupies.
Chances are that you have to. But that may yet be dangerous for the house unless you have something like old telco battery tanks or a set off of a submarine, depending on what you might read.
The meaning is Republican Party / Democrat Party. As in "elected officials". Because one of those is the only group besides the ISPs who think no NN, and no other restrictive regulations, are the way to go. The electorate seems to largely agree and any disagreement is not along party lines.
Do have fun with your semantic derailment there. Yeah, most of us are aware that evidence-based anything is a hopeless cause*. It's so partisan. But you know, we keep trying anyway.
*Actually, I am given to understand that some people actually feel optimism about these kinds of things. That isn't something I can grok.
Innovation demands we simply make heavy-duty irony meters that are capable of showing just how far off the charts the irony is. Log scale might be a good idea. Analog meters should be able to go much more than full circle.
Explosion resistance might also be enhanced by converting mere detection into work. Let it power a small generator connected to your home grid or something to bleed off all that overload.
The CO to your door is that last mile. We only need consumer ISPs at all because of the last mile. Unfortunately, those awesome anti-monopoly laws never stopped ISPs from buying up the long haul networks either.
Sure, it's better if the ISPs (or whomever, because lol ISPs are the last companies to use the poles and conduits) don't own the rights-of-way ... but you know what? They don't always own them. And it has made zero difference.
Look. I understand where you want to move your regulation, and then not call it regulation. Hey, you have good ideas. But they are not going to solve the problems you imagine they will solve, and are just as susceptible to corporate capture as anything else.
State utility boards control more-or-less natural monopolies. The FCC was supposed to be a layer on top in the communications area, among other things. The FCC didn't make any pole-ownership monopolies out of thin air (or at all, whatsoever) so i have no idea what you are on about here. That has fuck-all to do with the FCC.
But go ahead and keep starting every conversation by telling us how stupid we all are and how amazingly brilliant you are, it really furthers the conversation. Don't act surprised when people engage with you on the childish behavior half of your information output. That anyone engages with you on your ideas, when you bother to express any, only goes to display the quality of much of the commentariat here. (Excepting myself, i'm just some dork.)
The other thing is... is there anything that can't be outsourced multiple times? Particularly with people's data (they aren't always customers or clients, but simply observed for corporate benefit à la Equifax; thanks for the timely example guys), this just spreads the attack surface (for corporations and criminals both). The lack of care, the dearth of any craftsmanship, the complete unwillingness to run a real business for any purpose other than sucking dollars is simply amazing. Who really cares about what they make or do, and won't sell out at the first opportunity?
Not only are they legally and economically beyond any punitive enforcement, but culturally beyond any kind of positive or negative reinforcement to get them to move in a direction toward any kind of quality or ethical behavior. Most real costs to our lovely economic experiment are entirely external to these industries. And then they go ahead and invent more of them.
Re: Assertions so silly call for quote-and-contradict:
The argument about their behaviors renders the "ad hom" not an argumentum ad hominem whatsoever. Stepping back further, the arguments have already long been made why the bill is bad. Pointing out who supports it, and why, is perfectly valid. It's good to know about all these things, not just the bill itself, as they are all about either violating the first amendment or other rights, or promoting a bad idea that won't help.
SESTA is completely counterproductive and destructive. There, have a counterargument equal to your initial argument on that point.
"Actual" as opposed to fining someone we don't like because they didn't remove something arbitrarily fast enough for us, while the ad will just move somewhere else, whether or not the offer involved someone trafficking another human being. (Note that the definition of "sex trafficking" changes between narrow and broad constructions depending on to whom they are trying to sell their bad idea / line of bullshit). They will stop no trafficking by doing this. On the other hand, they could easily watch for ads and go after the people posting them...

If the goal of SESTA is to reign in corporations, someone may want to introduce a valid bill on that matter and not lie about what it is for. And stop destroying the minimal regulations we did have for some of the egregious corporate behaviors, maybe.
I frequently notice the lack of dissent of any quality myself. Well that isn't really true. Make that "completely contrarian opposition dissent". I see plenty of dissent on particulars.
I wonder what would happen if someone rang up his department, asking to send a car around, because the northern hemisphere threw a snowball at their house.
