Who thinks internet service was better since then?
I have seen more delays the last two years than ever before
It’s kind of interesting that within 24 hours of the DOJ opting to block the ATT-Time Warner merger because cause it gives a distributor too much control over the way it treats content, the FCC said it will vote to give internet service providers more control over how they treat content.
In a vacuum I’m not sure which side of this argument I favor, seems like rich, powerful companies fighting over who gets to screw us. In the absence of more evidence or facts my gut reaction is to be against whatever Obama was for and for whatever he was against.
Net Neutrality is bad news...
Yes, another win...
You are being conned here. Obama just signed off on a law that had been written by others and planned for years that simply codified the way the internet has always been. That law didn’t change anything. Net neutrality is the only internet we have ever known. NN is core to what the internet is. Without it, the internet is essentially Comcast digital cable on demand.
I’m worried by how badly many conservatives have been deceived on this. The telecom industry has targeted conservatives with a massive lobbying campaign full of dishonest and misleading talking points. Just because some liberals like net neutrality doesn’t mean we should be against it.
Net neutrality is essential to the existence of a conservative internet. There is no possible benefit to ending it. The push against NN is entirely coming from telecom industry lobbyists whose companies produce their own content and want to freeze out independent content producers. Those companies are all run by the worst sorts of liberals. This change would empower those media industry leftists to block conservative sites.
For anyone who has at all noticed the rise of radical political correctness and the increasing pressure for censorship from the the establishment, the end of NN is terrifying. Anyone who understands the internet and how the telecom industry works can see what will happen. Content will have to be packaged into larger blocks to negotiate with the providers. That gives a chokepoint that will be used to block the inclusion of non-PC speech.
This is incredibly frustrating to see many conservatives take a dangerously wrong stance on an issue they do no understand, due to a lobbying campaign by some of the most liberal multi-nationalis.
More WINNING!
Go President Trump!!!
This was a back door plan to censoring and controlling the Internet by Obama and his Globalists buddies.
Great move to leave the Internet on it’s own and not controlled by the FCC.
Of course the NY Times is going to try to trick their readers into thinking it’s a bad thing.
Anything that’s bad for Google and Facebook is good for the American people. Anything that undoes anything Odumbo did is good for the American people.
Somebody correct me if I’m wrong but rescinding net neutrality leaves the FCC as the final arbitrator of any disputes. So here is the scenario if it gets rescinded; Comcast decides to slow down access to all conservative sites for its customers, Verizon does the same. Conservative sites complain to the FCC, it takes years to get resolved and when it finally gets to the arbitration board, a Democratic President is in charge and his appointed FCC board decides against the conservative sites. Could happen during an election cycle like Lerner did when Obama weaponized the IRS. Despite my gut reaction against anything Obama did, this scenario could play out, no?
