    Hi Everyone,

    This just came down the pipe for folks in the US: https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/9/22569869/biden-executive-order-right-to-repair-isps-net-neutrality.
    The Executive Order squarely targets tech.

    Also see Steve Lehto's analysis
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qyYEvcS5-8. Lehto is a Michigan
    attorney who specializes in consumer protection. He is very easy to
    understand.

    But its up to our congress critters to fund the enforcement. We'll have
    to do some serious housekeeping at the next general election or that
    will never happen.
