Licensing was an attempt to control content, just as net neutrality is today.

Net neutrality prohibits control of content by the ISPs. It does not at all address restrictions on or licensing of, indeed any regulation whatsoever of, any content creator. You are, again, thinking about fairness doctrine. Furthermore, content creators, and the those who run the servers containing the content, are already subject to quite a bit of government regulation. Some of that regulation is restrictive (such as privacy for minors) and some of it is protective (such as not holding them liable for copyright infringement for posted content).

Your purist view of net neutrality is laughable at this point, thanks to the hard work of people who actually know what freedom means; Judicial Watch. They’ve exposed the collusion. It’s over. We have the documents. The net neutrality you believe in is not what this government wants. They do not want it.

———————Net neutrality prohibits control of content by the ISPs.-——————

This is vague at best, and is exactly what I mean by purist view.

Yes, *technically* net neutrality will prohibit control of content by the ISPs ***********BECAUSE************ the marxists will be the ones in control. And nobody screws with the marxists once they’ve gained power.

Obama’s regime generally agrees with Mao, that power generally comes from the barrel of a gun.

Direct quote. Argue otherwise.
