It's hard work to stay informed on these ongoing onslaughts. I'm doing my best to elevate these issues daily with (near) daily researched articles.

Yes. This is why it’s such a pleasure to subscribe to you. On YouTube and what’s app they were always censoring me. If I called BiBi BiBi they would censor me. If I explained about textiles and the differences they would censor me. Here , it’s refreshing to express an opinion even if it seems out of step with the subject, or what others are relating to. I do realize that the Profane one and those like Ajit Pi are censoring theatre, sports, literature, museums, belief systems, racial equality, our right to just be left alone. People like Trump, Pi, and Musk need to be in control of people because they haven’t any self awareness or self esteem. Never in my opinion validate people such as these. They are dangerous, and they like hurting others.

great article! I wonder if this relates to the block on my email account that prevented me from forwarding your post about Kahlil to my weekly discussion group members? only after a complicated discussion with Comcast was I able to get them to "remove the blocks" on my account

This is newsworthy, thank you so much for writing about this and bringing it to light! As you described, it’s such a red flag that 47’s former FCC chair is now the CEO of the wireless industry’s lobbying organization, and poised to further exploit the field that he opened up when net neutrality was axed. It does not bode well for information or free speech.

Where do our voices matter most in this? I’m reaching out to my state’s senators and representatives to air my concerns and ask that they educate themselves.

Yes absolutely keep reaching out to your elected officials, anyone who will listen. The key is getting as many people activated as possible. It's a shame corporate media is wholly ignoring this story.

I want to bitterly complain about this to my rep and Senators. What should I say?

I called both Senstors and asked that they not do ANY lobbying with this person or his company. I've been wondering in the back of my mind about what I'm looking up on the internet ever since the loss of net neutrality. I'm trying to use Ecosia more. Thanks for writing this so soon after your loss!

I vaguely remember the "net neutrality" stuff from Trump's first term. Thanks Qasim, for updating us on Ajit Pai - another dubious grifter in the Trump Regime.

Yep yep. It’s a shame there hasn’t been more awareness on this incredibly critical issue. Doing what I can to change that.

I never liked or trusted Ajit Pai. He reminds me of Vivek 'pick me' Ramaswamy.

Absolutely. Their goal is to exhaust us. We need to keep going.

The real power of a voice is not measured by its volume but by what it says.

And you are saying what needs to be said.

Thank you.
