-—————I didn’t ask about who’s in the driver’s seat—————
You never do. By avoiding who’s running the show, that allows you to claim ‘conspiracy theorist’.
There’s no conspiracy theory when all is out in the open. The hard part is getting people to see the obvious.
-————Now, the question becomes what the best way is to retain it-————
To keep the marxists’ hands off. Which is why I oppose the mis-named “net neutrality” push.
—————Then you have the consumers, mostly powerless.-—————
This is one of the main areas where “conspiracy theory” has a lot of traction.
The FCC refuses to get behind even the notion of updating “outdated laws” in their view. Their only answer is power consolidation. Big government.
—————I wouldn’t count on us to maintain net neutrality.-—————
I count on us to maintain internet freedom far more than any marxists. When in history have marxists ever stood for freedom?
With us, there’s a chance. With the marxists, there’s no chance. I refuse to start at zero.
—————Now, do you have any specific problems with any of those?——————
Of course not. But as the FCC/government have proven, they aren’t through yet. They’re out there talking about controlling all the entrances/exits.
Any fool can figure out what that means. Unless of course that discussion really didn’t happen, I just dreamed it up. It’s a freeper conspiracy. *rolls eyes*
No, because I care about the issue. The same groups are "running the show" on DMCA opposition. As I asked before, should I now embrace the DMCA?
To keep the marxists’ hands off.
How does that retain net neutrality? You propose no action to stop the very real threats to net neutrality.
I count on us to maintain internet freedom far more than any marxists.
Please describe the mechanism. I'm not looking for generalities, but actual solutions. Please remember the first rule I showed you, the one that requires consumers be informed of the terms of their service. How do you propose the consumers prevail when most of them don't even know what's being done to them?
Of course not. But as the FCC/government have proven, they aren’t through yet.
Back to conspiracy theory. So if a conservative group had introduced the exact same rules, you'd have no problem?
