‘Net Neutrality’ is Hijacking the Information Highway
Canada Free Press ^ | 02/12/15 | Judi McLeod

Don’t wait until tomorrow, sound the alarm today

With public attention riveted on 50 Shades of Grey and NBC’s ‘lyin Brian‘ Williams, the proletariat is about to lose its most reliable form of communication: the Internet

“Quickly and quietly”, high-handed Barack Obama and the Democrats are working on hijacking the Information Highway.

Big Government takeover of the Internet will become a fait accompli by February 26, 2015, with a Federal Communications Commission (FCC ) vote. By the time the public becomes aware of it, the Internet will already belong to Obama.

Suffering in silence with no means of communication to others is exactly what Obama wants on his mission for his ever-expanding Fundamental Transformation of the Free West.

Here’s a link to leave comments for the FCC on their internet regulation plan. Click filing 14-28 to be taken to the form.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for the poster to respond. He posts only from this same source and never reponds.

This seems to overstate what Net Neutrality is in principle...enjoining ISPs to treat all net traffic equally and to prevent backroom deals with various online giants (amazon, NetFlix) to block or slow down their competition.

“Second, President Obama’s plan targets pro-competitive broadband service offerings, both actual and potential, that benefit consumers."

The "Fairness Doctrine" did not regulate what you could say.. it merely made it possible for consumers (liberals) to swarm radio station owners demanding more "competitive" talk in the form of free air time. If the radio station owners refused they could lose their licences.

This from Obama's good friend and former czar:

Here's how President Obama's head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs and author of "Repulblic.com," Cass Sunstein, describes FreeRepublic.com as "group polarization," where people segregate themselves so effectively online with other like-minded thinkers that they create an echo chamber where the group's worst and most malevolent opinions get reinforced and strengthened. "We might want to consider," Sunstein startlingly told the Times recently, "the possibility of ways of requiring or encouraging sites to link to opposing viewpoints."

And if they did not comply he as czar wanted the fetters to make them comply.

He recently left the Administration and is now an employee of Harvard I believe.

I repeat!

Stop Warder boarding the Internet!

It would seem to me that the Internet is a perfect example of something that could be virtually split and then offered in two flavors, regulated and unregulated. The proponents of this net neutrality crap could let the oppressed and downtrodden users choose, and pay accordingly.

I think the two sides of this debate are talking past one another, more so those that are for Net Neutrality. Those in favor think that those coming up with these regs have the best interests in mind for Americans and for the Internet. But that is dubious thinking considering who is in in the White House, and the fact that the FCC - a supposedly independent agency - is doing the bidding of Obama/Jarrett. Once you start looking at things in that light, it seems like pretty sound thinking to be against NN, at least as it is being handled at this time.

Are you cool with the Internet becoming like cable? Comcast for these sites, Time Warner for these sites...
