FCC to repeal ISP requirement to secure their networks

[Maxmars]

Long ago... The FCC... (that body of individuals responsible to establish and administrate policy regarding the nation's communication industry) determined officially and "affirmatively" that any ISP provider must ensure that the equipment and processes they buy and deploy are not used for criminal or foreign exploitation...

They were officially "responsible" to show not only that the equipment they are deploying are secure, but also that their management and policies support and maintain that security... but that was "then"...

This is "now"

FCC Chairman Carr's office has now offered that the FCC had  “exceeded the agency’s authority and did not present an effective or agile response to the relevant cybersecurity threats.”

So now...after the November vote... we can expect the world to be a much better place... ISPs no longer have to worry about mass breaches, bot surveillance, and data vacuuming ... it's not their problem anymore...

Carr's office reports “extensive FCC engagement with carriers” who have taken “substantial steps… to strengthen their cybersecurity defenses.”

Aren't we all happy now?

FCC to rescind ruling that said ISPs are required to secure their networks 
Subtitled: FCC chair to rely on ISPs’ voluntary commitments instead of Biden-era ruling. 

The original law in question:  Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA)

But, wouldn't that make it actually less secure since scammers and thieves could not be traced?

Oh wait, the government law agencies don't seem willing to trace scammers and thieves anyway so never mind...they even have prevented some local police agencies from trying to track down thieves sometimes.

It appears that this industry has joined the few others who simply get "whatever they want" whenever they ask.

Their goal is simple... 100% profit... 0% liability...

and the government is helping.

Data breaches between the government and big tech constitute almost ALL data losses by magnitude...
a day of "enough" is inbound... and ISPs are not having it.

I wonder what the "pro quo" is to the government's 'quid?'

Don't worry, within a few years the only internet provider will be the Govt so non of this will matter.

Yeah... I can see that as a realistic potential.  The that potential is fraught with a sticky rash.... "middlemen."

The "middlemen" will object to losing their lofty place at the 'government subsidy teat.'  They will not go quietly from the "money for nothing" game of their entitled status.

Half this country (and probably half the world) is at least 50% middleman... each leeching as much as they can from the revenue stream... and doing everything they can to keep and grow their 'profit.'

No ... one thing must happen before such a state of affairs comes to pass...

And we won't "miss it."  I promise.

Oh they will go quietly, for the same reason that companies like Budweiser and hollywood franchises double and triple down on decisions and narratives that cost them 50% of their revenue, and politicians do things that would normally be political suidcide, as if it doesn't matter, becasue the Govt's are subsidizing them to do it. Where do you think all this money for the "war", i use that word VERY loosely, has gone over the last 4+ years? It is going to businesses and organizations to push narratives, shut down, and whatever else the Govt wants or needs them to do in order to implement the next steps in their plans. The lack of choice, the lack of privacy, the lack of ownership, the lack of freedom. 

It doesn't matter who or what company is it. If the Govt comes to Walmart and offers their leadership more money than they would make over the next 10 years to shut down, what do you think they will do? Especially because they already know there will be no more goods to sell, and no more people left that could afford to buy any goods that exist in 10 years. 

We already know the goals of the Great reset , Agenda 2030, and whatever else they have up their sleeves. We need to start looking at decisions that are currently being made, and events that are currently taking place and evaluating how those things relate or contribute to what their end goals are.

I'm glad your paying attention to this.

There is a malignant melody being played in the maneuvers of the "Big" industries and their "bought and paid for" representatives in elected offices... committees and councils, boards, and chairs, orders, and clubs....

I think they are just now realizing they had only convinced themselves of their 'safety'... (which never really existed because none of them can trust one another.)
