Correction: A huge piece of propaganda pushing shit. Remember Citizen's United? Guess what these big ISPs are going to be doing during elections once NN is repealed.
Comcast: "Comcast customer service."
Customer: "Uh, yeah I can't access CNN anymore."
Comcast: "It is our view that CNN is fake news and is no longer tolerated on our networks."
Customer: "Wait...what?"
Comcast: "We do however offer full access to Fox News as part of our news providers package for $19.99"
Customer: "I don't want Fox News. I don't like Fox News. And I certainly don't want to pay for it. I just wanted to see how the democratic candidate was doing in my state."
Comcast: "We do not endorse the democratic candidate or his positions, so all content in relation to said candidate is blocked from our networks."
Customer: "What??? That isn't legal!"
Comcast: "It is perfectly legal. Comcast is a corporation and does not have to guarantee free speech. With the repeal of net neutrality it is also perfectly for us to filter the content on our networks any way we see fit. Unlike regulations governing TV and radio when it comes to elections, there are no such laws for the internet."
Customer: "That's bullshit!"
Comcast: "You have the option of going with another ISP."
Customer: "There are no other ISPs in my area!"
Comcast: "We don't care. We don't have to. Have a nice day." *click*
