With Net Neutrality gone, these giant tech companies could start bidding to make ISPs make their search engine default and have the other competitors fail to load.

The stupidest thing about this whole entire thing about net neutrality.

The entire reason the FCC was created was to prevent the committee from being governed by the government process to avoid corruption for the exact circumstances we're seeing here

Saying that the Supreme Court and the appeals court has any area of saying what the FCC is legally allowed to do is laughable, as the entire reason for the committee being isolated from the standard Executive Administrative branches was to prevent government overreach like they're doing currently.

This is 1,000% them saying hey you're an isolated committee that we can't touch but you're not allowed to do the one thing that your committee is supposed to do

Corruption all the way to the top. It's the American way, ironically I think the slogan "drain the swamp" works for both parties, as it's clear that the people that are in charge aren't willing to actually uphold the commitment they've made to the people.

"This thing that one party did, multiple times, is the fault of both parties!"
