You might remember that when HBO comedian John Oliver originally tackled net neutrality on his show in 2014, the FCC website crashed under the load of concerned consumers eager to support the creation of net neutrality rules. When Oliver revisited the topic last May to discuss Trump FCC boss Ajit Pai's myopic plan to kill those same rules, the FCC website crashed under the load a second time. That's not a particular shock; the FCC's website has long been seen as an outdated relic from the wayback times of Netscape, hit counters, and awful MIDI music. --- Official nosy neighbor and gossip https://imgur.com/uGKwGsK ...

The story is worth a read, and highlights how former FCC CIO David Bray and FCC media relations head Mark Wigfield repeatedly fed false information about the nonexistent attack to reporters, then used those (incorrect) stories to further prop up their flimsy claims about the DDOS: --- Official nosy neighbor and gossip https://imgur.com/uGKwGsK ...

The irony of this is that a government created agency has become tyrannical and the government is now trying to stop them. But we all know the government is way better than the private sector and they should definitely be responsible for regulating the free market right?

And what do you want to bet that the worst that anything is going to happen to any of these people is that they will be quietly let go with a big bonus. :/

No one at the FCC will even be punished for this. OhhhJa posted... But we all know the government is way better than the private sector and they should definitely be responsible for regulating the free market right? I know you're being sarcastic, but this is completely right. The government should govern. Corporations absolutely cannot be trusted to a completely free market. That always ends in oligopoly. The fact that our current government is corrupt and stupid doesn't mean that government isn't the correct place to put economic power. ... Copied to Clipboard!
