The frustrating thing is that this effects EVERYONE. That's why monopolies are bad. That's why censorship is bad. That's why allowing corporations to act as unelected pseudo governments is bad.

If people could just realize this, and come together to regulate the shit out of the cc duopoly, this could be over for good. But that's extremely unlikely to happen. Bill in congress to do it, right now! But it's been re-introduced several years in a row and never goes anywhere.
