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.

    do what i do

    start finding new hobbies. don't upgrade your os and run the old computers for as long as you can, or at least as long as until you decide you are able to get by not wanting to be surveilled and decried as someone with something to hide since you refuse to do what everyone else does online.

    if you become an old fuddy dotard then you will be excused, even if they don't realize you chose to look like one to save yourself.
