Cliff’s notes: Team GOP prevailed, the people lost on netneutrality. The only thing you can do now is cancel your broadband… something very few people have the will power to do.
I suppose the reason they did not take it to the supreme court is Trump managed to stack that court in favor of the right-wing nutjobs. So if the case goes there, it will do the GOP’s bidding to favor big business over the people and enter an oppressive decision that is even harder to correct in the future.
(note this story was originally on Ars Technica but that site is enshitified so I found a less enshitified source to link – something more fedi posters should do)
That was a single example from a link I gave you with dozens of examples from multiple states from 10 years ago.
It also included states that require online filing for small claims and landlord tenant disputes.
Internet is cheaper than a lawyer.
The only interesting state was Texas because the other states have offline filing, which makes them entirely irrelevant.
You’ve misunderstood the article. Only Texas has the requirement.
This is a false dichotomy. You need not choose between the two. If you opt out of the lawyer, free public wi-fi is cheaper than Internet delivered to your home.
