And the astonishing thing is that there are lots of conservatives that actually support more regulation out of some unfounded fear that ISPs will start charging people to access conservative websites.

These companies won’t jeopardize their bottom line doing something so foolish no matter how many people think they are evil

There’s a terrifying incestuous relationship between telecommunications companies and the FCC/gov’t, with cable company execs moving back and forth between the two.

Neither can be trusted. Hands off the internet — including (especially) TAXATION! Let the free market drive innovation and improvement.

Be on the lookout for collusion between them, causing slowdowns an outages, which will be blamed upon their inability to ‘fix things’ via regulation.

If a broadband provider ever tried such a stupid move, they’d lose customers in droves

Stopped reading right there. Most people have no option to ditch their monopoly ISP, and whatever the merits of the author's position, he loses his credibility when he claims otherwise.

Globalist monopolist elites would love nothing more than to use their US government to control the internet to turn it completely into a propaganda tool for themselves.

All dissent would obviously be criminalized.

The elites happily impose this type of control in all their communist countries.

If enough of the sheeple in non-communist countries are stupid enough, they’ll lose all their freedoms one by one.

If the sheeple turn to God and bow the knee to Jesus Christ and live according to his Word, he will bring them victory, and destroy the wicked people he has caused to harass the sheeple as chastisement for rejecting his Word.

If we the people ask for secular humanism, God gives us what we ask for, which shows us how miserable and ungodly it is.

The Psalms are excellent reading in regards to these ideas. God’s perfect hymn book.

This article is utterly misguided. There SHOULD be some regulation. You give it over to the Corps and you think sites like this will survive? When profit only is the motive, you really think that America comes first?

Not regulating would be a disaster. This has cut across partisan lines. Only those in the pocket of the Corps claim otherwise.

I am no fan of big government, but at least it is elected. And the problem isn’t big government, it is that it is a Liberal government. Privatize everything and let “the market decide” and you will kill a Nation. These are multinational corps with NO allegiance to America.

Sometimes the rush to demonize the Dims (trust me they deserve it) blinds us to the other enemies in our midst.

Now the FCC should give up its desire to regulate and allow the Internet to keep improving as it has for decades.

Not a chance.
