Reading a debate on Reddit about what should happen to Comcast now that they've been found to violate the law >400,00 times.
Some people are saying the corporation is criminal, other say that it should be broken up or nationalized. People complain there are "never repercussions".
If we want real change, then I have a simpler solution- jail time for and seizure of assets owned by senior executives.
If we had real repercussions for white collar crime, that would be an actual deterrent.

I can't believe it took this long for any action. Comcast have been acting beyond shady for many years.
Adding stuff to your bill that you didn't ask for and making you waste hours on the phone to get rid of something you never asked for is just one example.
But certainly real punishment should happen. I'd even go as far as to say all their practices should be investigated to ensure they're not breaking the law in any other scenarios.
