The FCC will reveal vote to repeal net neutrality this week

The new rules are expected to be announced on Wednesday, whilst most Americans are distracted by getting home to loved ones for Thanksgiving.

This will then be followed by a vote on 10 December, which would see the 2015 rules designed to protect the internet being torn down.

[...] The important point, as we've said before, is that once the genie is out of the bottle, getting it back in is almost impossible and for our readers outside the US, don't think this doesn't affect you - everything that passes through US servers will be affected in some way and will knock on to you.

    Suppose you are John Podesta, yet you have done nothing wrong. (hard to imagine I know) Your weird yet perfectly innocent pizza-related email gets out. People wrongly connect it with pedophile terminology.

    Wouldn't you immediately clear that up with an actual explanation for why your pizza-related emails are weird as fuck?

      Well, personally, I wouldn't, because the resulting conspiracy theory was completely loony (maybe 700-800 millitimecubes), and most people don't give a shit about Reddit.

      I mean, I've heard some compelling conspiracy theories. That was not one of them. You've at least got to be as compelling as the Flat-Earthers. That's like bare minimum. Or at least be creative like the weather war theory. I really don't see enough weather war on the internet(s). Anyway, try not to exceed 0.5 timecubes.

      I still think you all got trolled by somebody who wanted to start an urban legend around the "loli haet pizza" meme in the guise of a conspiracy theory. lurk moar.
