You’ve been fighting Nepoleon for hours since the morning.
Your mish mash of coalition forces have been doing surprisingly well, but Nepolean has finally committed his veteran troops to push your center. You’re holding well but it’s only a matter of time before it collapses.
Then, thousands of troops begin to appear in the distance
The frech begin to cheer as they think its Grouchy who has returned to reinforce the main force.
But you know better.
One of your lieutenants puts down his viewing scope and says to you “Sir, it seems our friends have arrived. Shall I make preparations?”
You nod.
The lieutenant calmly walks over to the hi-fi system, inserts a cassette and hits play. Suddenly Swedish synth-pop starts blasting from your speakers and floods the battlefield 🎵 MY MY 🎵
Piece of Shit Pie as the internet usually refers to him, was an office holder in the FCC appointed by then sitting US President Donald Trump in 2017. His most noticeable policy stances included a complete end to Net Neutrality regulations in the USA and to or from abroad, despite previously claiming that he didn’t think the board of unelected members had the authority to dictate it. Once he switched his stance to deregulation it would have had the effect of letting telecommunications companies and other intermediary ISPs decide what content or sources their users have access to: the internet as a whole to all US citizens could have been completely controlled by a small group of companies, their customers potentially seeing only what they want them to see and not having access or freedom to send or receive connections.
