10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
the latter option wouldn't fit with the strategy of enticing customers with a low advertised price and hitting them with the real price on their monthly bills
AKA deliberate false advertising amounting to outright fraud.
Jesus Christ... Like yeah, no shit, that's the entire point of the rule
Voting for an infamous fraudster convicted felon, get defrauded. 🙄
Nobody voted for being defrauded through hidden fees by ISPs.
Not even Republicans (or rather the vast majority of them that DON'T stand to profit from it) are deluded enough to want that or even think that they do.
~~The trump administration is~~ Republicans are literally against anything decent and for anything evil. When you think of it that way, of course they are all friendly to pedophiles and rapists.
Lolololol so cry to FCC because of all the fees you have to list because you want to false advertise and then charge way more than you’re advertising in fees. That’s the American way huh? Couldn’t just, IDK, not pass a ridiculous amount of fees to the consumers for a required in our society service?
This doesn’t really have to do with the number of fees at all. It’s “corrupt government that accepts corporate handouts further removes regulation on ISPs so they can implement shadier pricing strategies to further ill-gotten profits.”
There’s like two or three fees that are legitimate. Others are just a way to get people to pay more without realizing and have more trouble recouping their losses
Welcome to capitalism
Drug dealer: Okay okay, how about I dont list all my sources of income on my taxes?
There's just too many to keep track of!
see? the orange idiot got internet prices down!
now only 99c a month *
I'm so fucking thankful I don't work for a large ISP call center anymore. Customers will scream about their prices going up but somehow blame the last administration in the same breath.
It’s the information war. They need to degrade the amount of information Americans have access to in order to quel the inevitable rebellion when the bottom drops out of the economy. First they’ll finish dismantling public schools, then they’ll take away your internet access or make it so expensive only the rich can afford it, or can avoid going to jail for thought crime for using it.
So this piece of human garbage has advocated his job of protecting consumers and now simply threatens when companies use free speech and makes your consumers pay more... Seems like that's an exact opposite of this job is supposed to be, I guess you should be locked up with the rest of the Nazis.
Abdicated, I think you mean.
Do we want the informed consumers making rational decisions kind of capitalism, or the kind where corporations exploit people who are helpless to whatever a lie they want to tell about the true cost of our decisions? Guess we have the answer.
This is so fucking stupid I can’t help but laugh
