  • While well intentioned, in the hands of the right the agency could what the supreme court is doing now for big tech.

    • It's either something like this, or you trust big tech corporations to police themselves. Do you have a 3rd option?

      • I prefer the second.

        • "Corporate self governance" doesn't exist. Whatever fucks the consumer for more profit is the only rule they follow.

          • I'd prefer the current state of affairs than the tech industry getting restricted by a budge SCOTUS. It doesn't exist, but it's still better than the other, since the SCOTUS people probably benefit corporate anyways
