I was referring to the courthouse where the ruling took place.

They mean the next level of courts.

They aren't suggesting that you pirate from the supreme court (although I have nothing against it)

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yes, they asked, "Supreme Court?" But I clarified that is not what I meant by next level.

I meant escalate the number of people being disconnected starting with the court that made the ruling. Or perhaps the judge wants that so as to force ISPs to be declared as utilities.

ISP's want it both ways. They want the protection of utilities without the regulations.
