Tumblr CEO on net neutrality
CNBC ^ | 2/24/15

Posted on 02/24/2015 4:04:22 PM PST by SoFloFreeper

"I think a bright line rule that sort of spells out the principles that we believe in, I think the Bill of Rights is a good thing," said Tumblr founder and CEO David Karp.

KEYWORDS: dunce; economy; fcc; internet; regulation
David Karp shows his utter ignorance of economics in a conversation with some likely liberal journalists.

The blonde woman seems to have the best grasp on the situation.

This kid doesn't have a firm grasp on the Bill of Rights or regulations....he seems to be there to just be a shill for Obama.

They are pushing to require a license to ‘operate’ a website

In other words, you’ll need govt approval (and pay the fees)

Rush totally nailed this today.

The people who are going to be hurt the most are those little snotty-nosed hipsters who own those vegan and other lifestyle websites that cater to liberals. It will also hurt Mom and Pop, conservative, and small business websites too.

“They are pushing to require a license to ‘operate’ a website”

I’m trying to imagine how they would word such a requirement without allowing countless ways around it.

Liberalism wouldn’t be liberalism without an avalanche of new rules, regulations,and laws with the resulting new restraints, burdens, and taxes on Americans.

Time to learn more about the Dark Net so as to set up a Liberty Net.

Rush totally nailed this today.
By what, talking about it? Did he at least give out the FCC phone number and request his listeners call to protest?
Same goes for Hannity and all the other "conservatives." WTH are they DOING about it? How can we stop the FCC?

Anyone who trusts government to do anything is a brainwashed moron ,brainwashed by the liberal news media.

This net neutrality is obamacare for the Internet, government controlling and ruining the Internet so that we don’t get any information that the democrats/government doesn’t want us to know

Rush was great today! The community college where I teach was closed due to the weather, so I got to hear the whole show. I love how Rush pulls these clips to remind us of how Senator Obama in 2007 thought the FCC should not vote on regulations that had not been made public! Now he is insisting on the exact opposite.

I hope the conservatives who stayed home in 2012 because of Romney are happy with result - amnesty, net neutrality. Iran with a bomb, and the total collapse of our foreign policy and our standing in the world.

Especially since anyone with a credit card can rent a virtual server in Holland or Singapore.

“I think the Bill of Rights is a good thing”

The CEO of TUMBLR said that?? LOL!

That site is a cesspool of perverts, mental sickness, homo worship, and the proving ground of the language police state.

They likely see the BoR as a “trigger word”.

This video explains the sheer nuttiness of the place.

I hesitate to share any of my alternatives, but they are legion. Unless they require a license to transmit data across absolutely any electronic medium, they will fail. Even if they did that, they would fail.

At the end of the day, democrats bring to the table a granular new sincerity that lets them touch base with proactive synergy and robust diversity to push the envelope towards value-added transparacy. This cross-platform benchmarking will bring to the table a milestone come-to-Jesus moment that will peel back the onion, cast the net, drain the pond and boil the frog while drinking the kool-aid and eating your own dogfood. Bright line rule, my ass, democrats don’t think, they just regurgitate old buzzwords...

Goebbels is watching them— and they are dancing around the head of a pin. Scared, willing to bet.

the fees will be on a case by case basis.

meaning, if you’re not aligned properly with the current govt message, your ‘fees’ will go up.

the hipsters will be charged $20/yr with a $100 rebate while sites like FR will be charged $10,000+/mon due to being a politically oriented site.

I happened to catch that segment. Tumblr’s CEO was completely clueless about what it takes to get the internet to a home.

It’s one thing if fiberoptic cable runs down your street already. It is a whole ‘nuther story if it doesn’t.

We live on a private road in PA that only got electricity in the 50’s. Before that people had DC systems that they bought themselves and ran on generators. We don’t have fiberoptic cable on this road yet and we’re about 75 miles as the crow flies from NYC.

And yes, you can get the internet via satellite, but somebody has to pay for maintaining and replacing satellites.
