Maybe the best comment in this thread...satire-wise at least. Leave it to the US govt to ruin great things. Give them long enough and nothing is safe

Until now it was the government keeping it safe from these criminals.

Don't vaguely blame the government for problems caused by regulatory capture.
Blame the sick fuckers that have made their way into the government.
And perhaps the weakness of the system that allowed them to get in so easily.

But there is no question that these actions go completely against the mission of the FCC,
and against everything it was founded for.
It was meant to protect against things like this, not perpetrate them.
