i don't thank verizon or the cable company for their services. quite literally the opposite, actually.

and take that money from its rightful owners (the rich)?

it's an iptv stb, it doesn't need much. it's not designed for subscriber customization or 'app' loading.

maybe instead, pass a law. one with substantial penalties for failure to comply, that requires 'social media companies' of a 'certain size' to do (reasonable) 'things' in order to operate or make themselves available in canada. things that spaceman fireball would never do
