How much longer before the Obama regime removes FR and other conservative websites?

This IS the ultimate goal of “Net Neutrlity”.

[Army Air Corps]

By then, a new system will arise...an electronic samizdat.

[Starboard]

Agree. The assault on free speech is underway. No question about it. In two years time we’ll be lucky if the word ‘conservative’ is not banned as being offensive to liberal sensitivities. Drudge will be THEIR first target.

Definition of SAMIZDAT

: a system in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and countries within its orbit by which government-suppressed literature was clandestinely printed and distributed; also : such literature

Obama and the FCC don’t have the authority to do this

we should file lawsuits to put a stop the these FCC laws/regulations as they are unlawful, unconstitutional , illegal and very harmful to individuals and the economy

This is some scary stuff. I haven’t seen the FCC documents but soros funded this and imo the days for this site , Drudge etc. are numbered as the FCC will now be able to hear grievances against web sites (Rush limbaugh just said this).

I’m looking for another country to get out of this socialist hell hole Obama is turning the USA into

Again all democrats on the FCC voted for this socialism/marxism for the INternet. again all Republicans on the FCC voted against this socialism (same as for Obamacarere)

It’s been tried before, and spectacularly failed.

...but this time - not in a good way!

[Signalman]

Tks. Interesting info.

[Democrat_media]

Yes and Rush just said something similar to what you did that the FCC will be able to hear grievances against web sites or have the ISP’s police websites for grievances and “hate speecH” etc.

[fatnotlazy]

Funny how the administration blabs about any plans to deal with ISIS and our other real enemies, but won't tell us citizens what's in these new Internet regulations. Could it be that our government views us ordinary peasants as the real enemy?

Up until a few years ago, I would never have expected my own government to view me as the enemy. I guess Obama really has fundamentally transformed America.

Waiver available for nominal fee uhhh contribution to the DNC.

Power Grabs and Partisanship HaPPen.

Nothing new for freedom seeking people

to be told to shut up

And eat the slop in your trough faster.

You don’t want to miss the Nightly Indoctrinational News broadcast now, do you?

Eat up!

I cannot wait to hear the screaming from all the millennial dweebs who think this is a good thing. I figure it will take eighteen months or so for this to become noticeably bad.

[nascarnation]

Well it was fun while it lasted.
I guess the plan is to migrate to ham radio....

[fuzzylogic]

I really don’t see this as a threat to free speech. There’s conservative shows on TV, radio and they’re not shut down because of the FCC. I don’t see how they could differentiate things on the Internet.

This is a threat to private property and an unconstitutional intrusion into private business. It is also a classic case of the government not understanding the technology. I WANT Quality of Service technologies from a server all the way down to my device, which means efficiently prioritizing packets. It should only be prioritization on the TYPE of packet and not from WHOM. This can be handled by internet protocols.

I do see lots of new licenses, fees, lawsuits and yes, some abuse in terms of whom the FCC “investigates”. These costs will of course get handed down to us. It was certainly an excuse to take over, based on a problem that didn’t exist.

[Red Badger]

Yep, we will be same as dat................

[rfreedom4u]

Unless this has passed through both houses of Congress and been signed into law by a President it is NOT law. And I hope it never passes anything.

[Major Matt Mason]

Title should read "Democrat Appointees on FCC Approve Socialism for Broadband" (I know, that isn't the title actually used, but just making the point).

[Star Traveler]

Agency regulations don’t have to be passed by Congress. Agencies do this all the time. Of course, Agencies can be sued in court to question certain rules and regulations (that does happen) which are put into effect.

The method to use, if there is a dispute with regulations ... is by way of a court suit.
