FCC to repeal Net Neutrality Bill

[The Greater Ohio Valley]

Some guy most people didn't vote for, appointed some guy nobody ever voted for, to do something that most people are against. What exactly has to happen before we as a society call bullshit?

It seems like a good portion of society is trying to call bullshit, but Ajit Pai and those like him literally don’t care and are gonna do what they do anyway.

[Stronk Russian States]

If it were up to me, I would put net-neutrality into a Constitutional amendment and declare it a human right.

Twice in my lifetime a candidate lost the election with a majority of the votes, every election candidates enjoy irrational party based loyalty regardless of what they've done, every goddamned day the executive exercises far more power than the constitution should allow. Being pissed is useless, it's a firecracker that goes off makes a bunch of noise and ends. We need a rational and insistent engine of displeasure that's going to keep pushing regardless of who is in power so that the enext time this shit happens we're looking at in context.

That sort of behavior is only going to make the divide in the US even worse. Though it would be funny if this bill is passed and all of Trumps tweets are censored by companies that are against him.

Sorry I meant the wrong thing. I meant to say the repeal. I don't know why I said bill.

It's not a repeal either.

[Vassenor]

So apparently tumblr is trying to block people from seeing posts tagged with pro-NN tags.

Which totally doesn't have anything to do with them being owned by Verizon.

Yeah that plan is going to work well for them. No way this will backfired on them.

The corporations know what's good for you. Do not question corporate authority.

It's very bad. Net neutrality must be protected. And while Trump and Pai will probably used it for banning things like pornography, given that providers can now manipulate the traffic, I think they will filter out any political views that are against their views. Plus, Google manipulated it's search engine too, so it will become worse if the bill passed

More of an administrative action.

So you're saying that because Trump is evil, you want him to have regulatory controls over the Internet?

No

No

So then you would want Net Neutrality to be repealed, so Trump's government loses regulatory, control, wouldn't you?

[The Federation of Kendor]

No

What do you actually mean by net nuetrality? I don't even understand what you are saying? Is it's definition as freedom on internet wrong?

Net Neutrality in the United States is the FCC, a government agency, regulating the internet under Title II, which gives the government a great deal of regulatory power, rather than under Title I as previously, which allowed minimal power to the government.

The repeal of Net Neutrality is the rollback of federal regulatory authority on the internet. The repeal is what provides greater internet freedom.

[Archysall]

No

I thought I I'd stay out of most of these discussions but this has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever read.

It gives ISPs greater freedom. It probably will result in the user having less freedom.

The world is complicated.

Regulatory control helps keep the internet fair by telling what the ISPs can and can't do. A repeal would provide less freedom because ISPs can do whatever they want.

I agree with you, I was mocking his one-track more gov=less freedom talk.
Honestly, this is either genuine stupidity or corporate shilling.

I don't understand the rationale between less regulations = more internet freedom. It's like saying having less sweets in your diet = an unhealthier diet.

That's not really a good comparison. Regulations can be good or bad. In this case they were good (relative to the status quo), but not all regulations are good.
