The 8th Circuit gutted FCC anti-discrimination rules. Now unequal outcomes alone don’t count; only provable intentional bias does. Black and low-income neighborhoods can still get worse internet at higher prices. No written confession of racism = no remedy. #DigitalRedlining

I could tell you about the time I was in Jackson and asked about the benefits of these data centers for rural communities and how it was as though I’d slapped someone at the dinner table.
