So, do any pirates here have a grasp in what this asshole feels towards piracy in general? Should we be worried? I’m worried he’ll install an FCC that’ll work against internet rights, that’s one concern.

I’d like to hear what thoughts you have.

    He is not going to appoint someone to the FCC. He is going to get rid of it. ISPs are going to be free to do whatever they want with no federal interference.

      He’s not going to “get rid of it”, he’s going to corrupt it. Give spectrum to the biggest donors, reverse net neutrality, get rid of antitrust, revoke broadcast licenses of anyone who criticizes him.

      Which might be a blessing in disguise? I mean, for the ISPs that have been actively fighting corporate interests from telling them what to do. With no governmental branch telling them what to do and not wanting to lose many subscribers lest they risk going out of business, then isn’t that a net positive?

        With no government oversight, and the nation already cut up into segments by the ISPs so that they have monopolies in their areas, you think the free market is suddenly going to start working like Ancaps say it will and regulate itself in a way that’s good for consumers?

        If you’re the kind of person to believe something like that, then I have a new cryptocurrency you should buy from me. Guaranteed to go to the moon, no rug pull. Trust me, bro.
