It's about big tech getting a better deal from ISPs who will pass the expenses onto consumers

Its all about giving the government unlimited ability to control what you see on the internet and who has access.

It's a "I threw out the originals so I can make it look I did this instead of just copying. Also, here's some other stuff like helping the supply chain and meat farmers to make it look like I care, but it's actually just more SQUIRREL! This is not the Hunter Biden docs you are looking for."

I don't care who's signing them Executive Orders need to be limited to immediate emergencies only.

That would require congress to reclaim the powers they've tossed over the fence to the executive. Sadly not going to happen before the collapse.

A report from The Verge - https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/9/22570826/president-joe-biden-executive-order-right-to-repair?utm_campaign=theverge&utm_content=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

Twitter stuff on this EO - https://twitter.com/search?q=biden%20executive%20order&src=typeahead_click&f=live

I read the EO and most of looks promising, wtf? Is it possible he actually did something right?

We'll have to see how the Right-to-repair order shakes out in the courts, because every tech giant and appliance manufacturer is going to challenge it. As for the rest, net neutrality is a red herring, and targeting price gouging from pharmaceutical companies after every government in the world has just given them trillions of dollars to pay for vaccines that kill more people than the virus they're supposed to prevent is at the very least darkly ironic.

If Net Neutrality is any guide, it'll be the same plastic-banana shit for Right to Repair. I expect huge exemption carveouts for Apple and other big tech brands, auto manufacturers, printers, game consoles. The only right to repair that will be protected will be the stuff that literally cannot be locked like lamps and furniture, or small companies that couldn't pay the Democrats enough in bribes.

Seriously? You've been here a year.

Archive link of The Verge. Twitter isn't worth linking, no one should care what a bunch of literal nobodies or blue check faggots think.

When I posted this the text of the EO had just been released and I could only find a couple of sources mentioning it yet. The other was Bloomberg/

Thanks for the downvote anyway.

Biden's position doesn't matter, it's whoever is pulling the senile old farts strings that matters.

Biden is a moderate

There is no modern Overton window where Biden can ever be considered moderate.
