Gross. I listened for a minute
Now imagine going to school where that is a required class for every student, and you have to go multiple times a week for multiple semesters.

a/k/a "net neutrality"

Make no mistake, the Marxist fainting spells over over the statist righty fainting spells regarding the Infowars ban are all calculated to promote "neutrality," and give us, forever and evermore, the U.S. Dept. of the Internet.

Every crab thinks that if he can just reach the edge of the bucket, he'll be the one granted control of the state.

Fools.

That is some hilarious spin to handwave away a self-evident example of why we need some form of net neutrality to end censorship and control of ideas going forward.

Forbidding corporations from shutting down information for profit or ideology is not a state power grab, unless you want to control ideas and opinions that are allowed to be expressed (in that case I am sure you'd be apoplectic about it).

I do understand the motivation, though, for a preemptive strike to try to push the discourse in a direction far, far away from having to admit you were wrong.

I reckon I don't have to imagine either.

In way too many words she wants to censor the internet. More specifically, censor men.
