It was later in July. To be clear, filing a complaint is simply an online form. This does not involve or require lawyers or any expense.

The TLDR version is: We filed it as a violation of HB2282, Washignton State's Net Neutrality / Open Internet laws, the AG thought it was an appropriate complaint and forwarded it to HE. This gives them 21 days to respond. They (HE) responded relatively quickly, basically saying, "Nah, no we didn't and no we don't block access to it". At this point it'd be up to us to fight it further. We're not their direct customer, nor will we ever be (now). With that said, they very much WERE blocking access to the subnet as seen here ( https://images2.imgbox.com/b2/ed/Nc8NLQl2_o.png ) and here ( https://images2.imgbox.com/58/e1/1ZIn3YbZ_o.png ).

If HE is lying in response to a complaint forwarded to them by the AG, that seems like something the AG really should investigate.

Edit: It's odd to see this downvoted. I don't care about Kiwifarms or all the other random crazy crap being discussed in this comment thread. But I do feel that companies should be honest in their communications. I'm surprised people here disagree.

This seems like an incredibly trivial thing to investigate.

The AG is about consumer protections. This is absolutely not that.

so what would be the proper channel to inquire about this stuff with?

Agreed: "It's not the crime, it's the cover-up" [1].

A lot of the "people here" are from Kiwifarms because this thread got linked to from their site. So a lot of untrue claims are being made about the facts of the situation.

I went looking for this out of curiosity. It seems to be a thread from 2022 with only 10 pages, and only about 10 total replies this year. Is this really your basis for claiming that "a lot" of people are coming from Kiwi Farms?

How did you even find that thread anyway?

I searched the site for this URL because the volume of gamergater-esque behavior in this thread made me curious.

You talk like you use the site a lot and pretend to be pointedly ignorant about the more ugly/criminal behavior the site harbors. You must be a high ranking user there.

Attacking another user like this will get you banned here, regardless of how wrong they are or you feel they are. You've been breaking the site guidelines so frequently that you're already over the line at which we'd normally ban an account, but I'd prefer to ask you to follow them first.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.
