This effort by telecom execs to force tech companies to pay them huge new surcharges for no reason has been a generation in the making. It's what started the net neutrality wars.
This new effort will be couched under a lot of empty rhetoric claiming it's necessary to "bridge the digital divide."

Like I said, this would create more censorship and chilling of speech, especiially towards minorities and the marginalized.

It's going to be a very rough time for organizers and events alike this year and the coming decade to come and I feel for them especially the smaller orgs and non profits who are suffering for no fault of their own.
