Net Neutrality

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Guys, this just in, when bad things happen to the public legislation is always there to make it right!

No reason to care/worry, congress always has our back!

 

[Harambe]

Yeah, the path to that is there, right until they go down that path, then the law changes because people aren't cool with being blocked for political or commercial reasons from going to the sites they want to go to. And the second someone tries to go to their favorite echo chamber but gets redirected to the enemy echo chamber it's going to be armed rebellion.

So, instead of doing it right the first time... ?

Am I understanding you?

I'm not in favor of eliminating net neutrality. You didn't understand that the first time I said it?

People are acting like evilcorp is just gonna start controlling our lives as soon as net neutrality ends. I think you're all being silly as ****.

People like you are why individual rights and freedoms have been declining.

I highly highly doubt any of what you're saying comes true. Highly.

I'm sure Comcast will make clear that they will not be blocking content, will not be re-routing users. The second that starts happening legislation will pass to make it illegal to do that. I'm not skurred.

I've never read into net neutrality laws until today, and yeah I'm not freaked out about it either. It's basically a rich world problem, boo hoo.

However, this law reversal by the laissez-faire and anarcho-capitalist crowd shows just how much some people like to shoot themselves in the foot. It also is a sign of Trump's true character.

As of right now, it's good. As of the 14th, if nothing changes, it's potentially bad.

If something's going to change, why not do it right so we don't have to continue tweeking it down the line? It's just passing the buck.

Doing nothing to stop what's on the docket will cost every private citizen more; one way or another.

OR

Your minor apathy on the subject is disturbing. I recognize you're not in favor of eliminating neutrality, but that's just not enough. Particularly because it's so easy to voice a concern with available tools.

I have...

My lack of fear is =/= apathy

I am STRONGLY in favor of net neutrality.

I see that it is 99% likely that it's about to end... for now. I think there WILL be negative consequences to it ending. I just think people are being silly with the extent to which it will negatively impact us. Like net neutrality is the difference between liberty and oppression.

Where are you guys when cops are searching peoples' pockets on the street with no warrant and no reasonable suspicion? Where are you guys when police dogs are used at inland boarder patrol checkpoints? Where are you guys when our government executes people? Where are you when extreme mandatory minimum sentences are given out?

Oh wait, your porn might not load as fast if you don't pay a premium.. sorry, let me drop everything and freak out.

I sympathize with the "it's not the end of the world" part of your argument. But I'm not a fan of the "children dying in Africa" part.

Yes, we were bitching about these things when Bush/Obama pulled away these rights too. Too bad their where people like yourself who were like "Oh well, if it gets too bad they will just change the law".

yeah, we needz more laws.

they always write laws. never take laws of the books.

 

[DutchJazzer]

this is the only way to explain it.

the free market you can at least vote with your dollars

at least i am consistent, and always say the government is corrupt, and should stay away form ****.

you guys dont make sense you hate trump moore et al, and you want to give them more power.

the government "invented" the internet. but it took off once the government had no control over it

Too bad? I didn't give anyone permission to end net neutrality. You're being silly as ****.

I've never done anything but oppose ending net neutrality. I haven't been ambivalent about it.

Simple minded people need fear mongering for motivation I guess. I don't. I don't need to imagine boogeymen in order to take an ideological stand on an issue.

Again, *******, where are you on the 1000 other injustices in our society that are already happening? Why is net neutrality the doomsday to end all doomsdays for you?

Will it be bad? Yeah. Will I do whatever I can so that it doesn't happen? Yes. Will it almost certainly happen anyway. Yes. Will we live through it? Yes. Will Trump and his band of idiots run this country forever? No. I don't give them 2 more years.

Well yeah, that's the dumb part. Just like how Cy is essentially blaming me for net neutrality ending. It was supposed to be equally as dumb as Cy is being.

New York State is getting their **** together

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...s/?tid=pm_business_pop&utm_term=.2e2056707995

A large number of messages lambasting the Obama-era regulation began appearing on the FCC's public forum with the same text. While it is not unusual for commenters to use form letters provided by activist groups, people began complaining they hadn't submitted the comments that carried their names and identifying information.

They were being impersonated.

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman started to investigate after noticing many of these comments involved people in New York. There was an unexpected roadblock along the way: the FCC declined to cooperate with his office’s investigation, he said, rebuffing requests for logs and other records associated with the comments.

The disclosure the FCC had denied Schneiderman’s request was made in an open letter he wrote to FCC Chairman Ajit Pai this week.

Schneiderman wrote that the FCC's public comment process for the regulation change, which is required by law, “has been corrupted by the fraudulent use of Americans’ identities.”

“Such conduct likely violates state law — yet the FCC has refused multiple requests for crucial evidence in its sole possession that is vital to permit that law enforcement investigation to proceed,” he wrote. “In doing so, the perpetrator or perpetrators attacked what is supposed to be an open public process by attempting to drown out and negate the views of the real people, businesses, and others who honestly commented on this important issue.”

The letter has brought renewed scrutiny to what Schneiderman, as well as other researchers, believe may be hundreds of thousands of fake comments supporting the FCC’s proposed rule change. The accusations have raised questions about the integrity of another public forum, this one run by the federal government, in a moment of growing national concern for the ways in which social media can be exploited for political purposes.

So.. yeah. Let's talk Fake news, and Fake accounts again.

As if this wasn't enough, there's reports that under the new plan, the FCC would block states from enacting their own neutrality laws.

Just do something.

So there it is. The first back step, and we haven't even repealed yet.

No, I blamed people like you, not just you.
