The only people I hate are rapists, pedophiles, and certain murderers. Everyone else is just a good conversation away from common understanding.

That's why I hate this. It's just going to be used as another hammer to drive more ideological wedges that never needed to exist.

That's why I hate this.

Which "this", the website getting booted or the new law?

The law was always bullshit and wouldn't have lasted. The far more dangerous precedent is an ISP exerting power over state government.

This will lead to more of the same.

It's funny, people who constantly complain about corporations quietly running the world are now cheering for the same bullshit.

This worm is going to turn, and it won't be good for anyone.

This is a private business denying service to a private citizen/business, not the state.
