If you like your freedom of speech, you will be able to keep your freedom of speech. Period.

If you like your internet, you will be able to keep your internet. Period.

No one will take them away. No matter what.

The re-working of the Cyberdyne logo is a nice touch.

Of course, if we're talking about Fundamental Transformation, we could also use this:

Nothing like relying on a law from 1934 to hammer home the fact that government agencies can stomp freedom in to the dirt.

The internet in control of the government will eventually become the means of government.

Few things militate against the Individual with the relentless focus of global information technology. Everywhere it has been employed, it has demolished hierarchies of authority, eradicated "subsidiarity" by consolidating control of anything that depends on information into fewer and larger hands. Is there anything in the material economy that doesn't depend on information?

As McLuhan points out, instant, global communication renders sovereign national borders as quaint formalities, leading ultimately and inevitably to some form of virtual de facto superstate. Such an entity has the means to control people's access to, perceptions of, and uses of information, rendering them effective wards of its power, relieved of anything that can truly be called "individuality." You won't conform? Then you won't get the goodies, because your credentials will be revoked. So will be the Digital Pentecost, where a person ultimately is a source of tax revenue - a "number", if you will, to a superstate.

This is the real problem with technology. Selfies are only a distraction, proof that people's eyes are really off the ball.

For the fist time in human history, the one, single thread that unites mankind from one end of the globe to the other has become a rein in the hands of a single man.

I didn’t realize the FCC was a branch of the government, and a superior, unitary one at that.

Ok, so they passed it.
Now where is the complete unredacted text of the regulations?

Who cares???

WE care about ebola. Whether Obama loves America. The latest tribe of cave dwellers faking videos to bait us into war.

Who cares about the internet? Freedom is dangerous!

It is a telling thing when progressives make analogies between 'regulating the internet' and how the Constitution 'regulates free speech'.

FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler said as much with,

He claimed it was no more a plan to regulate the Internet "than the First Amendment is a plan to regulate free speech."
That alone is enough for Congress to defund this agency...

...a Congress that actually worked for 'us'.
