Ajit Pai is human garbage and I hope he's hated for the rest of his days.

He basically spent yesterday putting out videos mocking anyone who has ever worried about this issue.

I haven't wanted to punch someone in the face until they lost blood and teeth this much since Glenn Beck was a regular, irritating presence.

Beat me to it. I came in to throw up the NY Attourney Generals statement. Yup. The other shoe just dropped, a bit quicker than I even expected it to, and apparently with more states involved than I even expected.

Anon's also started cyber attacking the FFC and been at it all day. Here's hoping the ones behind this can never hop online ever again.

I'm sure he'll be remembered as the internet's Shkreli.

Spooky stuff with the identity fraud by impersonating dead and living people done by FCC

Yeah, I happened to catch that Sean Astin's mom was added three times a year after she died.

Pure scumbag behaviour, and just staggering contempt for the people in every conceivable way. Not that it's at all surprising from the band of ghouls running government right now.

It seems like everyone who can fight this is doing everything they can to at least made the process as painful as humanly possible for the FCC. Not tons of hope left, but fingers crossed...

Indeed. This is just nuts. This is almost the nascent beginnings of what appears to be a form of authoritarianism, and I'm glad there are states and others getting up to fight this crap before it comes to roost.

I wonder if the FCC is getting too big for it's britches, because it's weird seeing this kind of behavior from something that is supposed to be properly constrained.

Some Republicans weren't happy with the FCC's decision either, so this could end up productive.

Meanwhile, 23 State Attorney Generals are filing lawsuits against the FCC, with plenty more room for lawsuits to be filed with them...and Ajit Pai is under investigation BY HIS OWN PEOPLE.

Mississippi is one of the states joining the law suits. And if even Mississippi, the reddest state that ever did red and thus probably wouldn't be in on it, is joining the suits, then I have some faith that the repeal is doomed.

Never underestimate stupidity.

I predict the repeal DOES in fact go through.

welp! I think all those people making bank on their youtube channels will have to find other additional income. Some even made careers out of it. Not any more I guess...
