I notice the Libtard Obama sycophants are all over the Internet telling how the new FCC Net Neutrality rules will keep ISPs from throttling certain content.

Anyone ever notice you can't get to a certain site because your ISP is stopping you from seeing it?

Yeah me neither.

Now in other countries where the government controls the Internet it happens all the time.

But here we need the Government to make sure that doesn't happen like it does in other countries where the Government stops people going to certain sites.

Yeah same old same old. Government invents a problem so they can come up with a solution which means they gain control over something they don't like because they can't tax it or control it otherwise.

It's the same crap they did with home distilling of alcohol. Couldn't tax whiskey or other distilled spirits made in homemade stills because people refused to pay the vig to the gub'ment so they came up with rules that made it illegal until you register your production and pay a tax on what you make and they claimed it was for health safety.

Same crap again. Its why I always say after every election nothing really changes, we get the same circus, just different clowns.

The only throttling I even noticed was by content providers. For instance Youtube censors anything anti-Moslem pretty fast.

Can you guess when the ISPs decided that they would no longer give their paying customers what the paying customers requested with the service the paying customers were paying the ISPs to provide?

Yep, the ISPs were beginning to act as bad as union labor in NYC. Yous wanna plug in a fan at a conference? Yous gotta pay a union member to plug it in for you.

The Middle East was like that and I live in a country now that has government control of the internet. Some kids programming cannot be accessed.
