    Trump will be their biggest supporter, locking down the free and open net is the Fascists goal. What we have now, and have had, in the Western World in terms of open net, is going to be destroyed down to it’s basic functionality, when Donald Trump and his minion of incompetents turn their attentions to it. I’m not sure the majority really understand what’s about to happen.

      Eh…I’m not sure trump is actually smart enough to understand HOW to do that.

      This is the same guy who heard the term “clean coal”, and began describing scrubbing the cosl with scrub brushes and soapy water. The same guy who heard not to look into an eclipse, and IMMEDIATELY looked into the eclipse. The same guy who created covfefe, defended it as not being a typo, and 10 years later, we’re all still baffled by what that even COULD mean.

      And you think he’s about to instill the biggest lockdown in the world of internet traffic? Uhhhhh, no.

        Trump doesn’t have to. He’s got someone in FCC who’ll do it for him like Ajit Pai before. Net Neutrality is going to die again anyways, as we all expect. What will come from that after, will be more dominos falling.

        While true, he has people with a tech clue in the background, even couch boy has a fair understanding of the basics, and Thiel & Musk have plenty of smart guys on the payroll
