> Households—especially in low-income and communities of color, which disproportionately share broadband connections with other people—would face collective punishment for the alleged actions of a single user.

Organizations really need to re-calibrate their messaging for the current government. I'm sure this statement is correct on the merits and I do think equity is important, but if you want to actually get stuff accomplished you've got to read the room!

Ah yes, in order to Get Things Done activists should read the room and... stop mentioning race? Because racists are in charge? I'm sure they'll manage great things and all of this social backsliding will just resolve on its own.

I would like the racists to not be in charge. I would also like for households that share internet connections, which we have just been told are disproportionately communities of color, to not loose access to the internet.

if you want racists to do something that benefits people, you can't tell them that people of color benefit too, worse that they are the primary beneficiaries. we have a tendency to cut of our nose to spite our face, and racists even more so.
