Think if half of us signed it. That would be plenty to show this asshole we don't appreciate what he stands for

As a not American I feel bad about signing this petition and feel bad about not helping you not signing it

Signed. It might not help, but that bag of dicks needs to at least see that we all hate him.

Someone tell Trump that his supporters will be blocked from seeing his Tweets unless they buy certain packages. He'll rethink the Pai thing.

Ironically, people with the 'don't tread on me' flag/bumper sticker are the ones who voted for this shit.

I feel so ignorant but... I really don't know what's bad about an "open" internet.. I wish I could understand why you are all so upset?

Signed. If only every signature also counted toward a choice four letter word to his face.

Common sense says that throttling goes against the ISPs interests when it comes to selling packages based upon speed. Just sayin'

Except they absolutely hate that business model because they have little to no competition in most markets.

Anyone see the irony in using a flag representing a rebellion against a massive government for a movement begging the government for help?

I've already signed but since this is a petition for Trump to answer, this going to fall on orange, deaf ears.

Trump literally can't do anything. FCC commissioners can only be removed for cause. Enacting a policy you don't like isn't cause.

Was hoping that since opening up pricing levels on what is essentially a monopolized utility would be cause for removal.

No, it's not. That's just imgur project its hopes on the law. Nothing more than wishful thinking.

The administration will just appoint someone worse. But I'd appreciate the stalling at least.

Does the the mug say: "World's BEST DAD!"?

Pai's face also counts as a "stupid mug".

If monopolies are bad, why should we trust the U.S. government, the largest, most powerful monopoly in the world?

2/2 It's lasted 230ish years... only because Americans (ie "We, The People") are in turn the refs for the refs.

As a foreigner: the ideal is that the US Gov't is supposed to be the ultimate referree, setting the rules to make sure corps play right. 1/2

As a citizen, the problem is the "ultimate referees" are being paid by the corps who are supposed to be mediated to ignore the people's will

(3/X) there is still plenty of room for citizens to take control of the situation. The issue is that, citizens have convinced themselves

(4/X) that they have no real power in gov't, a POV that corps are more than happy to exploit. But corps totally know they have zero power

(8/8) Ppl think that signing a petition is enough, but Congress pays ZERO attention to them. Congress DOES notice when ppl contact them tho.

5. our highest court ruled that companies are technically people, and thus part of "we, the people". Their voice drowns out everyone else's.

2. a company at a party handing you several million dollars? Physical revolts barely effect outcomes of votes.

3. elections rigged to match demographics have bulletproofed congress seats to the point of people having little political capital.

4. Contacts with representatives just lead to copy-paste replies from their interns, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't read them.
