Why can’t I declare that I am the czar of the internet, or the highways, or grocery stores, or microchip factories, and start issuing edicts and laws?

Can local and regional and national internet service providers simply say FU to the FCC? How many divisions does the FCC have?

Three people, how can three people just say they’re in charge of the entire world wide web? Doesn’t seem possible.

More affirmative action ignoramuses hired by Los Federales to regulate things to sheeeeeeet. Bureaucratic empire building at its finest. More tax money stolen from the peasants in the provinces to pay high salaried Federal trough feeders in the greater DC region which already is the wealthiest slice of America.

Creating more Federal jobs, over regulation and overreach is what is going on more than just “net neutrality”. The prime mover here is ever more Federal interference in private sector matters that do fine just by themselves

But for now, the FCC has granted itself enormous power to micromanage the largely unrestrained Internet.

Federal agencies cannot grant themselves powers. There HAS to be other entities involved.

I like your thinking.

And as such I call dibs on being Czar of salons that offer full Brazilian wax jobs for bikini models.

“Net neutrality” is “net control”

It is Operation Chock Point applied to the First Amendment.

THE problem with the new rules is that does it give an opening for a US government agency to determine what can be posted online? If it does, that right there is government censorship in peacetime, expressly prohibited by First Amendment free speech rights.

Will we be required to listen to Obama speeches and government pronouncements as part of the price of using the internet?
Pop-ups like “If you love your family, and your government, you’ll buy only government certified organic Hemp seed oil”

If the cable companies can’t charge for upgrades they will have to spread the cost. That means the “little guys’” costs will go up. The big cable companies are not going to cut their profits. They own way too many politicians. And their complaining is BS/

The FCC is lawless.

Remember they promised to release the papers after the vote, and they still refuse.

Nevertheless, 3 unelected people do not have the jurisdiction or legal authority to make law.

Remember too the FCC chairman refused to go before congress.

Their lawless and the Republican congress is doing nothing to stop this and reverse it.
