Comment Yang is better than Warren (Score 1) 308

I'd be okay with Warren if she didn't think breaking up Big Tech was part of the solution. We need regulations to protect privacy and to prevent foreign governments from influencing our elections through social media, but I believe chopping down companies doesn't help.

In the future, assuming Uber cars are all-electric and using solar or other renewables to charge, then this regulation only hurts employment, business, and our economy. As of right now, considering the environment, maybe this regulation is best. I don't know what's the best decision here, but I'm skeptical of this regulation.

Are they obligated? How about forming the question as "Should we make them obligated?" In your example, the cost of fixing a situation is much cheaper in proportion to the billions in profits an ISP can make. "Level3 is carrying a bunch of that Netflix traffic, and notes that it has more than enough bandwidth to carry it. It says the only problem is Verizon refusing to take 5 minutes to upgrade its system." https://www.techdirt.com/artic... I think that by now it should be pretty clear that ISPs are holding back progress in improving the quality of Internet speeds in order to increase profits and to try to slow the pace of people cutting the cord. I don't think that is an acceptable situation.
