[–] [dead] unanswered 5y ago ↗ This may be a bit confusing to some of our HN comrades, but in the US attorneys general cannot actually declare someone guilty of a crime such as fraud.
[–] [dead] modularform123 5y ago ↗ What is net neutrality 'fraud'? A new crime invented because libs didn't like the net neutrality repeal? Is it also racist? Homophobic? Deplorable?
