A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Republican FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr said the plan gives "the federal government a roving mandate to micromanage nearly every aspect of how the Internet functions."

IHO, this doesn't affect how the Internet function, at all. Internet doesn't just exist in the US. What it does is manage and governs the access to the Internet, and make it equaily accessible, within US jurisdiction. Micro or not, that's subjective.

I think that quoted comment is just a word salad with near-zero truth intended to be there in the first place.
