this is a company with over 100,000 cameras in public places sells data to states and municipal police departments. they can take a break from responding to media requests, but they can't take a break from responding to subpoenas and court orders.

FCC voluntarily stopped regulating ISP rates under Pai, effectively saying it was a “states rights” deal. NY then passed a bill requiring ISPs to offer an even cheaper plan, and SCOTUS told them to pound sand when they whined about it. LMAO. Don’t make their abuse of regulations profitable.
