"So the communities of people who fight for municipal broadband are all wrong."
Municipal broadband is great but that topic is completely unrelated! I'm a socialist and I agree with who you quoted, it's not the fault of dollar stores that a lot of basic goods are overpriced. Have the state interfere to provide more options if you need to, but your mentality is punishing the wrong party.
And now google is screwing over Firefox as well on its websites, you're happy now since you didn't give a shit when it was happening to a different vendor. Google's monopolistic urges here should on principle not be seen as a good thing.
"The warrant and arrest was legitimate"
It's only "legitimate" in a "what we say goes" context, i.e. one where our invasions of Iraq were legitimate.. which is to say, totally illegitimate from the perspective of anyone but the US government. We are punishing an international corporation for doing business with a state tuat we have delegated an enemy for daring to oppose the US' own hegemony and corporations.
You're right, the president isn't holding her hostage. But our country certainly is, even if she's being detained by an ally, no different than Assange.
I don't believe in a single thing that you put there. How does it feel to spend a lifetime pitifully thrashing at uninformed presumptions about others? Rage on, snowflake.
It wants its lame GOP "job creator" talking points back. Every massive crash we've had is the result of those you are defending. No one has killed themselves over the decisions of welfare recipients.
You probably believe the FBI every time they claim to have found child porn on machines they had compromised months before (see: lavabit) . Naiive. I bet the FBI is thrilled to have lapdogs like you.
"Guess what? The guy who most prominently screams FAKE NEWS at CNN is occasionally inaccurate himself"
Who cares? The only one to bring up trump here is you. It may not be true of your thinking, but other people are capable of actually evaluating something like CNN without bringing up trump. Cool your reptile brain for a moment.
..then why are telecos resisting it tooth and nail, undoing it as soon as possible? Are you going to tell me now that the telecos' will is pro consumer, in comparison?
As if someone in a government seat wouldn't be pushing for corporate rights so that he can get a handie from those corporations when he leaves the public sector. So Ajit Pai is a saint? What else should we add to your fantasy?
"or start up a rival newspaper"
Why start up a rival when you can just pay a paper hundreds of millons to be your mouthpiece, like Bezos was paid by the CIA to have WaPo play along? Or just send a parade of generals on your channel to shill war, as is common with CNN or MSNBC? Or have an ex CIA agent like Anderson Cooper have his own show? Or hell, just give the fucking ex CIA chief his own show, like MSN did with John Brennan?
The end of this is censorship, even if Paul isn't being censored. for example, Youtube would much prefer your ad views to be on Certified (tm) news channels.
Too bad your temporary discount doesn't reflect actual competition. Every consolidation of ISPs results in their creating a patchwork of non-competition. The isps are actually more in coordination on availability with each other than they are with you.
The trolls here are easily identifiable. Often, they're the ones lamenting Russian trolling, which isn't present here--you'd have to be delusional to think the russian government knows or cares about slashdot. On the other hand, corporate and government trolls from the US have been here for years, calling Assange a rapist, snowden a double agent, glenn greenwald a liar and bradley manning a coward. We see trolls lying about how the ISPs secretly desire network neutrality, and about how global warming is a hoax.
Now compared to all that, find me one post here extolling Putin. Go ahead.
Slashdot Mirror
Wow, who the fuck marked this pavlovian kneekerk drivel as insightful? "USA! USA!"
Just in case i wasn't positive enough about paid shilling in this thread, here comes ShanghaiBill to relieve my doubts.

You actually think you're Christian, huh?
I don't know what I would do without my daily dose of paid PR cleanup for the nuclear industry here on slashdot.

They want their talking points back.
I'm so tired of all these people being able to say things I don't approve of! Cen-sor-ship! Cen-sor-ship!

What a false dichotomy. What's needed is for big players like AT&T to actually spend on infrastructure the taxpayer money they were handed.

Pretty sure that CNN itself created the fake news monicker. Trump turned the phrase around on them and it stuck, much to their dismay

You're right, but cnn hates bernie, so it's not like smearing him with Russia BS is beneath CNN.

Just look up everything cold fjord ever posted if you want examples. Russian trolls had 0 impact on the election.

The "ISPs want net neutrality" claim is absolutely laughable to anyone who pays attention.
