  Brendan Carr, whom Mr. Trump has named as the incoming F.C.C. chair, has been a strong critic of net neutrality. The court’s opinion “puts to bed an issue that unnecessarily sucked up a lot of oxygen in tech and telecom for two decades now,” said Evan Swarztrauber, a former policy adviser to Mr. Carr.

  In a statement, Mr. Carr said that he was “pleased” by the decision and that “the work to unwind the Biden administration’s regulatory overreach will continue.”

  Sincerely, go fuck yourself, Brendan Carr.

  Net neutrality isn’t regulatory overreach. It’s overdue regulation to stop cable companies from fucking everybody by manipulating traffic and throttling connections to extort more money out of consumers and other companies.

  But, hey, you’re probably fine paying another $25 for a “4k streaming video package” that increases bandwidth for YouTube and Netflix, along with a $60 “online gaming package” that removes some artificial 150ms RTT latency.
