    Without echo chambers online, it never would have gotten so bad. People can stop interacting with those that don't agree and start to believe they are the only or majority opinion.

  2. By that definition, Obamacare as it was passed is fascist. Not denying it, just point it out. Socialized medicine seems less evil by a mile.

    I think you vastly overestimate the popularity of this site.

  4. And furthermore, the FCC seems to be pointing out one side's fake comments to paint a picture that the common man is actually in favor of what they are doing.

    Broadcast decency standards are not a first amendment issue. You can disagree, but I don't really care.

    What do you think "keep up" means? Don't believe their lies - they are only to help protect massive profits.

    Wishful thinking is not incitement.

    that their prior attempt was struck down by the supreme court.

    Struck down because the Internet was misclassified as to the type of service it was. They re-classified it in order to grant the FCC the authority. Did you just wake up from a decade-long slumber?

    An ISP business does not have to support another failing business segment. They are already earning enough from the ISP business to keep up their infrastructure and that's ALL that matters.

    They're not going to price themselves out of their own profits. So if people buy ads, you pay for those ads in the products you buy.

    And yet that has nothing to do with the point being made.

  16. But NASA and in the aircraft industry still have less problems with bugs

    How many external attacks are their on the systems? All NASA has to do is not include legacy MacOS binary compatibility to keep spacecraft relatively virus-proof.

  17. Unless the A/V runs its own rootkit. Then it could probably still track what's going on.

  18. Intelligent people that need to use commercial software.

    They sell advertising. That doesn't cost you. It's the companies that buy advertising that will cost you more than your $30/mo. budget. But maybe you're either being intentionally obtuse or forgetting what you were arguing about.
