So, do any pirates here have a grasp in what this asshole feels towards piracy in general? Should we be worried? I'm worried he'll install an FCC that'll work against internet rights, that's one concern.

I'd like to hear what thoughts you have.

He is not going to appoint someone to the FCC. He is going to get rid of it. ISPs are going to be free to do whatever they want with no federal interference.

Which might be a blessing in disguise? I mean, for the ISPs that have been actively fighting corporate interests from telling them what to do. With no governmental branch telling them what to do and not wanting to lose many subscribers lest they risk going out of business, then isn't that a net positive?

He won't just get rid of it, he will wield it as a weapon against anyone who criticizes his administration
