The sad part of it is that too many dumbasses fell for it.
Another leftist move to end internet freedom and unfettered political discussion on the march.
The democrat version of democracy means 3 unelected bureaucrats voting for something that none of us are allowed to see.
For those of you Freepers who think this is a good idea, I just noticed that a 15 year Freeper who insisted that Net Neutrality was a good idea because it meant his ISP would be required to give him better Netflix speeds was zotted yesterday into outer darkness.
The FCC DOES NOT have regulatory power outside of congress.
I’m sorry but three unelected people DO NOT have the LEGAL AUTHORITY OR JURISDICTION to make U.S.law.
Can this be reversed with a new president, Say a Ted Cruz type of president?
Best explanation I’ve seen-
Wolff: It’s not really net neutrality
Net neutrality is a hands-down victory for the digital industry, except that nobody anywhere can tell you what has been won.
It is a resounding defeat for the broadband business, particularly for Comcast, except that Comcast, if you’re inclined to bet, will probably still come out ahead.
Net neutrality is a curious piece of regulation that has been spurred on by popular umbrage and letter-writing campaigns (or the modern social media equivalent), but which has been fashioned and will continue to be fashioned by a process of negotiation and defined by a language, wholly opaque to the public.

More communism, brought to you courtesy of Soros and Obama.
"Net Neutrality"
"Common Core"
"DREAM Act"
If your goal is to inevitably rule over people, then stop dicking around and bring it.
Net Neutrality bump for later...
Welcome to the Collective, Comrade!

Have they said we are all required register at a government website for our instructions.
You know for our health.
Have they said we are all required to register at a specific government website for our instructions, yet?
You know for our health.
Under the progressive window dressing is more crony capitalism that benefits the favored internet service providers and will line their pockets.
FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler is a former K Street Man, a top lobbyist for cable television and cellular phone industry associations.
The propaganda that paints this and Obamacare as communism leaves out the truth that its communism that favors crony capitalists....
The other issue was ‘net neutrality’. He explained both in Marxists terms - I wasn't paying a lot of attention because Marxists are boring to me. But I walked away with the strong feeling that giving up control of ‘the net’ would benefit Communists and hurt the United States.
This power grab by the Feral Government is nothing but using Net Neutrality as a false flag to take control of another part of the economy (for ultimately controlling speech and future taxation). They do not care about ‘fair’ consumption of bits and bytes. In fact all you need to do is compare another government controlled utility to see where this is going. In about a year or so, they will be proposing multi-tier pricing schemes for bandwidth just the same way that they have multi-tier pricing for electricity today (i.e. higher rates charged during peak usage times). Just another lie from the Marxist Obama administration.
Thanks for posting this travesty.
Democrats/socialists/Marxist/Fascists are experts at packing evil in nicely-labeled packages.
There is nothing “neutral” about “Net Neutrality.” Again, conservatives are failing in the name-game. They need to rename it in the media aggressively so it sticks.
The proper name for it is: “Net CONTROL!”
The government fascists want to CONTROL something that is prospering and working fine. There is no need to add another layer of bureaucracy.
Another more correct name for it is: “Net BIAS!”
From now on, government will use FORCE to implement their BIAS as to how internet access works. The Government is FAR FROM NEUTRAL.
THERE IS NOTHING “NEUTRAL” ABOUT THIS SCAM, FOLKS!!
