It’s neutral in what is allowed for the Lib’s but not for anyone else ...
“Net neutrality” is to the Internet as the “Fairness Doctrine” was to talk radio. The purpose of the “Fairness Doctrine” was to shut down conservative talk radio. The purpose of “net neutrality” is to shut down conservative web activity.
There’s nothing about this that’s good for people. There’s certainly a lot about it that’s good for government.
Aijit Pai for President!
It Neutralizes Conservatives
Just another assault on our rights. The regulation of the Internet is all about controlling free speech. Obama systematically uses government to attack conservatives and the American way of life. The IRS being the primary method thus far to attack political speech. He doesn’t have to worry about the MSM as they are in the tank for him. The current voice that makes print and cable media respond to his actions comes from the Internet.
The Obamacare of the Internet ? LOL
Obamacare for the internet..
I want this tyrant politically neutered!! Where are the damned republicrats? They haven’t done $h!t on anything— illegal amnesty— nothing. Obamacare — NOTHING. They are impotent weaklings!!
Expecting the RINO / GOPe wing to roll over for this - actually, they probably support it and have been collaborating.
Seems Ted Cruz was right again!
Who would’ve thunk it?!
Is there ANYTHING about this latest power grab that is REMOTELY Constitutional? Using a 1934 law meant for utilities as the 'excuse' nameless faceless unelected unaccountable bureaucrats seek to regulate a profoundly different invention that would not even exist until half a century from the law used. Not only that that but it stomps all over the First Amendment using fictional powers that the Supreme Court of FDR's whim made up out of thin air from the Commerce Clause. It's so outrageous a power grab even Obama's utterly corrupt stooges in the current Court of Supreme Whim could not muster up enough evil to stomach this blatant act of tyranny on previous attempts.
So when the NEW AMERICAN HARD RIGHT WING takes control of FEDGOV, the FCC might just disappear like Nikolai Yezhov!
It’s as neutral as the government is, so not at all.
I wont hold my breath, so one has stopped him so far.
This is the big fight until 2016. Internet liberty...
The problem isn’t necessarily with the proposed ‘Net Neutrality’ regulations per se, but rather that the FCC wants to regulate the Internet like a public utility. They are merely using NN as the means to sneak the camel’s nose inside the the tent.
After they establish the precedent with NN, then the Feds can roll their sleeves up and really go to town. As public utilities, Comcast, TWC, etc., will be at the whim of the Feds just like any other public utility.
Expect to see the Fairness Doctrine resurrected (but not named as such), new anti-hate-speech regs, and other supressions of speech. Nothing is impossible at that point because they are now public utilities, so the First Amendment and other civil rights can now be trampled in the ‘public interest’.
