Private industry handling a public utility is never a good idea, see: Texas power grid
internet should be treated like water and power and handled by the city.
The government should never be in control of a means of free speech. You know who has Government-controlled internet?
Russia Iran China N Korea India Some EU countries Turkey Etc.
Right because having private companies in control of a means of free speech has always worked out fine
Which eu countries ?
Now I'm curious too
The biggest problem in Texas is greedy politicians (Republicans) making it worse.
