What a coincidence, I got an email from Verizon that my lines are going up $5 each and so is my Internet (ATT).

Good guy FCC raked in $200M in fines, while no prison time was handed out and $0 of those $200M goes to people whose privacy was infringed.

So really just a typical Monday, business as usual.

The FCC can’t send people to prison. FCC fines do not preclude criminal prosecution.
