Welp. They broke the Internet. Time to build a new one.

I just want to say:

Fuck you, FCC.
Fuck you, Comcast.
Fuck you, Time Warner.
Fuck you, Congress.
Fuck you, Senate.
Fuck you, corporate lobbyists.
Fuck you, every single judge who struck down Net Neutrality.

And biggest of all:

Fuck YOU, United States of America, for letting this go through.

(Apologies to the list for F-bombing; I'm just pissed off.)

Welp. They broke the Internet. Time to build a new one.


I just want to say:


Fuck you, FCC.

Fuck you, Comcast.

Fuck you, Time Warner.

Fuck you, Congress.

Fuck you, Senate.

Fuck you, corporate lobbyists.

Fuck you, every single judge who struck down Net Neutrality.


And biggest of all:


Fuck YOU, United States of America, for letting this go thro=
