There were many, many dumbasses on Free Republic that supported NN.

And they were supporting content providers over those who actually developed and built the Internet. They were supporting Google, FaceBook and all the commies, over AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and all the backbone providers and builders.

They just didn’t want these companies to make a profit off their hundreds of billions of dollars in investment. Investment that actually BUILT THE WHOLE FRIGGIN’ INTERNET.

And it’s because, deep down inside they are commies too.

There were many, many dumbasses on Free Republic that supported NN.

I support the concept in the sense that if Verizon is your ISP they should not be able to throw technical tacks in the rear-view mirror to prevent you from streaming Hulu instead of taking their TV service.

Nor should they be able to arbitrarily block your access, to, say, FR, solely because their management deems it a place for "hate speech".

Recent experience with Facebook and Twitter show that there IS a need for neutrality regulation in the online world.

That being said, the Obama version of NN was nothing but a huge Democrat power grab.
