Redditor seems to have solid information saying there was no DDOS
There's a word for this. It's "sabotage". The people who the GOP appoints to federal posts with the intent of dismantling the agencies they're in charge of are saboteurs.
“It is essential that we find new leadership for the F.B.I. that restores public trust and confidence in its vital law enforcement mission,” Mr. Trump wrote.
What do you think... Jared Kushner?
"None so deaf as those that will not hear. None so blind as those that will not see." - Matthew Henry
Of course he's lying, he's a saboteur. He's not there to make the FCC work.
Can't you just *feel* American getting more greater? He's not even sworn in yet, and we're already so great we don't need legal protection from unethical business practicess!
http://represent.us is the only organization I am aware of that has had success in fighting corruption in the USA. They've got a great plan, and it works (bipartisan bills that work from the ground up to reduce corruption at local levels)
I read an article like the one above and I can't help but think that this one lawyer may have gotten himself out of a ticket, but most people will just suffer the burden of an un-representative government because they think nothing can be done.
Because Russia isolating itself from the rest of the world behind a proverbial curtain, let's call it an "iron curtain", is a great idea.
"That was just pillow-talk, baby." - Randall L. Stephenson, CEO
>With state leaders "tone deaf to" the problem of letting incumbent ISPs write such laws
You misspelled "complicit in"
Is there a name for these cases where a writer posts a commercial couched as investigative journalism? I feel like it needs a catchy name like "Streisand Effect" or something.
Well, ok, there's lots of things that bother me about this, but one of them is that the consumers have been vocal about the data caps being a horrible tactic used against us since BigISP started employing them, and nobody cared. Why does it take another corporation to even get the FCC to budge?
That's how much my retired parents still pay to have the newspaper printed out and hand-delivered to their home 7 days a week, why would we tech-minded people not be eager to pay the same price for the same news minus the paper printing and delivery?
If it doesn't already exist, I'm coining a new phrase: "Corporate Narcissism." It's what makes corporations unable to see how anything they do could possibly be wrong, or viewed as wrong by a sane person.
It should be politically dangerous to accept money from the cable cartel. As bad as taking money from known mobsters. People who want to have a free internet and reasonable prices for access need to commit to publicly shaming any politician at any level who accepts those funds.
There are people who think it would be a great idea for President Clinton II to appoint President Obama to the SCOTUS.
Stuff like this is why it's a terrible idea.
Alright. So you get awarded damages when it turns out you were added vindictively or for no reason whatsoever.
It seems to me its not so bad that getting tied to a FBI list of possibly dangerous people means you can't buy a gun. It's that you can't get off the list without dying first.
That to me seems to be the thing we should be looking at. If you could go to a court and have the FBI/CIA/NSA/Facebook present their evidence against you and contest it, I think it'd be a pretty good plan.
And Congress would find a scapegoat (probably the FCC), absolve themselves of responsibility, and do nothing.
Re: Was the DDOS an inside job?
Ok. Out the link in the URL and it disappeared
