When an organization has been shown to be corrupt, has been shown to be breaking the law, isn't it normal to confiscate some of that organization's property? Normally that's in the form of a monetary fine, but then I've always been a fan of alternative, targeted sentencing.
it can indeed be confirmed that the concept of net neutrality goes back to the 1800's. it can indeed be confirmed that the concept of net neutrality goes back to the 1800's. To be exact, it goes back to 1848.
I taught you that, and now you're corrupting it. Marxism had basically no influence in American government until much later, certainly not enough to set telecommunications policy. The general policy continued through the telephone age, both in monopoly and after, during times of nationalization (yes, our phone system has been nationalized before) and privatization.
You seem to have a misunderstanding of what net neutrality is. The government removes their power to interfere with commerce. Do you mind the government preventing interference with commerce? That's what trademark does. Should we eliminate trademark enforcement?
That's all about trademark enforcement (and a bad analogy). Got anything about net neutrality?

No. It’s SOP to go through legal proceedings and find a proper litigatory (Probably not a word) sentence or fine.
That’s not what Wu is talking about. He is talking about theft. The word “nationalization” is not an accident. They know what they’re saying when they use it.

Nationalization doesn’t require the use of judges or juries.
————I taught you that, and now you’re corrupting it.—————
You give me too much credit.
Yes, I did first become aware of that talking point via your postings, but I’m not the one who corrupted it. Tim Wu is talking about nationalization of source code. The FCC is as infiltrated as FDR’s presidency was.
To say I’m corrupting it would be akin to wiping alger hiss out of the history books.(not equivalent, but akin)
-————You seem to have a misunderstanding of what net neutrality is.—————
No, I don’t. Tim Wu, Free Press, and the people at the FCC are being very clear about their intentions. They’ve used Elmo for propaganda, they’ve talked about taking over content on TV for ‘racial equality’, and quite a few other things. Oh yeah, popups for alternative views on websites.
-————The government removes their power to interfere with commerce.—————
With the level of collusion between the FCC, Obama’s Czars, and a host of other things, there’s no evidence of that.
The evidence points to government removing everybody’s power to interfere with government. That’s what marxists do, every time. Check the history books.
They do it every time. And you won’t argue otherwise.
