Google+Facebook+YouTube+Leftist Hollywood+the Democrat wanted “Net Neutrality”, so over time the Government ( Them ) could control the Internet. And that is why the are screaming like someone raped their Mother.

Any time the unlimited hammers and guns of the government are injected into a product or service it will ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS morph into a monster for societal "nudging" and outright monetary sweeps (taxation that not a tax).

And let’s not forget the Fairness Doctrine and “equal time” and FCC regulation of content. It was empowered by the idea that communication infrastructure is a natural monopoly so therefore the governemt must intervene to promote fairness and goodness.

The goal of net neutrality was to assure that all prog and liberal speech was heard and that all hate speech was closed off. Anyone want to guess where that was going to take us? That some Freepers were more concerned about their movie stream then letting the Fed have more power was astounding.

Perhaps you could use some proper nouns and rerun that post. I’m just not getting it.
