THE FCC JUST VOTED TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE INTERNET

The FCC will review consumer complaints of digital discrimination of access through an improved consumer complaint portal

Excellent lets flood said portal with 10s of thousands of examples of conservatives being discriminated against.

The Constitution means nothing, absolutely nothing.

All we have is a third world, thieving, lying, criminal government. And we will not be "allowed" to say anything about it. 🙄

[who_would_fardels_bear]

Since trans are 0.01% of the population, if they aren't generating 50% of YouTube videos then they are being discriminated against.

The only thing to do is to shutdown all of the "rightwing" YouTube channels so the content creation is equal.

[Organic Panic]

Strange... I don’t recall voting for this...

Order your ammo and long term storage food now.

[mewzilla]

Our forefathers net at watering holes.

Works for me.

Maybe someone could start up a Liberty Tree chain of bars...

[mewzilla]

...met...

[HollyB]

Shouldn’t the American people vote on this… not decided on by the FCC?

[TornadoAlley3]

SCOTUS has ruled this unconstitutional. In 3 separate cases.

[SuperLuminal]

There will be absolutely no blow-back on this latest addition to the shackles of tyranny we already bear...

The GOP and the serfs will shrug there shoulders and pretend nothing has changed...

The pure advantages and completeness of communist tyranny are once again brought into focus...

[Blood of Tyrants]

Wasn’t that nice of them to vote to give themselves so much power over the Internet?

“Hope we have a low-tech back-up plan...”

Carrier Pigeon? Our old CB Radios? Decoder Rings?

Ugh! How I hate the world we’re FORCED to live in!

[Texas resident]

China does this same thing.
Odd coincidence that our “President” is on the CCP payroll.
Ministry of Disinformation and all that.

[Blood of Tyrants]

The government cant stop call centers in India from making harassing spam calls from spoofed number but they think that they can regulate what you post?

[Songcraft]

[Blood of Tyrants]

Legally they can’t. The FCC only has powers given to them by Congress that pass constitutional muster.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Smoke signals?

[subterfuge]

Yes, thanks for the clarification.

[noiseman]

Great!, so when I move to my dream off the grid hideaway in the remotest part of Montana or Wyoming, the FCC will force one of the ISPs to run fiber all the way out to me? That’s awesome. And I’d better have the same multi-gig speeds and low latency as those city dwellers who have the best service, otherwise it’s discrimination. And my bill had better be no more than they’re charging those city dwellers as well, or….you know…discrimination.

On second thought, I just checked my melanin level and realized that it’s probably too low to qualify for this “non-discriminatory” plan.

[jimfree]

I suggest that no one, except perhaps Congress, has standing to object to the rule now. Once the FCC pursues enforcement, then there will be an injured party.

TYPING IN ALL CAPS IS

Neither your headline nor your post deserve any more attention than anyone else's, and most of the rest have the common courtesy not to shout for no reason.
