Why does everyone try to prove everyone else wrong? That entire first paragraph is completely unnecessary. You can simply add to a discussion without being "well actually " about some detail you want to nitpick.
The other two paragraphs are spot on.
Because it’s a meaningful distinction. The issue isn’t them passing the cost to their customers. It’s them lying about their prices instead of telling you what they’re going to charge you.
They will literally always pass all of their costs of doing business to their customers. That’s what businesses are and it is impossible to function any other way.
It is not in any way part of the issue. There is exactly one issue here. It’s adding these fees on top of the price you advertised to the customer with absolutely zero way for the customer to find out the actual price they’ll be charged. That’s the only thing the FCC cares about here and the entire issue. Anything else is a lie and a misdirection.
No, that’s fair. But also, when you’re conversing in “real life”, people probably aren’t paying that much attention to every word you say and don’t care enough to “nitpick”.

They government is charging them those fees. And the government has said that they do not need to pass those fees onto the customer.
In order to operate they must pay those fees. They do not need to charge the customer those fees. But they do anyways.
Thus, they are passing the cost of doing business onto the customer.
Read the quoted text.
Is it the only issue? No. It is part of the issue. And the FCC called them out on it.

Ok yeah I can see that. Thank you for breaking it down like that.
It’s really one of the worst things brought over from reddit
I think it’s worse here on Lemmy tbh
Edit: wait fuck did I just do it by accident?
I like to imagine people doing that in an every day conversation. It’s ridiculous. No one would ever talk to them lol
Um, do you only have conversations with people who agree with you?
People in real life don’t nitpick every word you say.
