   @carnage4life It's been seven years since net neutrality rules were eliminated. (also they didn't exist in the prior 15 years of widespread US internet)

   Despite endless hyperbole that the internet would be destroyed, I can't think of a single practical negative consequence before or after the rules were in effect.

   I even read the entire press release of the activist group. They are fuming, declaring "elections have consequences" and then can't list a single practical negative consequence of lack of net neutrality.

   So much furor over nothing.

     Some groups have started giving up on taking cases to the Supreme Court because it now shows "hostility toward sound legal reasoning."

     This is the conclusion of net neutrality advocates after telecom groups successfully won a case challenging net neutrality rules that were reinstated by Biden. They see no point in appealing the case given the reality of the current SCOTUS.
