A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This is asking we put the responsibility of that arbitration in the hands of Spectrum and AT&T. Take a minute and think about that.

No, they already have that responsibility and are already arbitrating it. ISPs already block content. This is the existing system working entirely how it was designed.

Do I want a better system? Yes. But we don't have it. So let's not defend assholes who don't deserve it until we've created a system which protects the people we want it to.
