Or even if they don't, are you a forgiving person?

WHY DOES MAGA HATE REGULATION, EXPERTISE & CONSUMER PROTECTION?

A federal appeals court struck down the FCC’s established, landmark net neutrality rules ending a nearly two-decade effort to regulate broadband internet providers like utilities.

The US Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit said that the F. C. C. lacked the authority to reinstate rules that prevented broadband providers from slowing or blocking access to internet content. The decision put an end to the Biden administration’s hallmark tech policy, which had drawn impassioned support from consumer groups and tech giants like Google and fierce protests by telecommunications giants like Comcast and AT&T.

“Consumers across the country have told us again and again that they want an internet that is fast, open, and fair,” Jessica Rosenworcel, chairwoman of the F. C. C., said in a statement about the ruling. “With this decision, it is clear that Congress now needs to heed their call, take up the charge for net neutrality and put open internet principles in federal law.”

In its opinion, it pointed to the "Loper Bright" case that overturned a 1984 legal precedent that gave deference to government agencies on regulations.

The FCC had voted in April to RESTORE the net neutrality regulations Trump ended which EXPAND government oversight of broadband providers and aim to protect consumer access to the internet.

The regulations were 1st put in place under the Obama administration and are aimed at preventing internet service providers like Verizon or Comcast from throttling, blocking or degrading the delivery of services from competitors like Netflix and YouTube. The rules were repealed under President Trump, and they have proved to be a contentious partisan issue over the years while pitting tech giants against broadband providers.

A fair, transparent, neutral internet is optional, right? They'll have your best interests in mind, right? I'll never forgive the lot of you!
