Obama and Soros, 2 fantatical marxists are for net neutrality. Trump just saved the Internet and freedom.
Soros the marxist is behind this “net neutrality” :

On February 26, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) passed 400 pages worth of new internet regulations, the details of which were released Friday.
It’s not a secret that left-leaning groups have advocated for “Net Neutrality” rules, but the amount of money thrown at the cause, and the sources, might be surprising.
The Media Research Center found that the Open Society Foundation, run by George Soros, donated over $82 million to “pro net-neutrality groups” between 2000 and 2013.
Between Open Society and The Ford Foundation, close to $200 million was doled out to push for net neutrality.

MRC also reported that the Ford and Open Society Foundations joined together February 11 for an event called Net Gain, intended:
‘“… to launch a major new partnership’ to deal with ‘significant challenges at the intersection of the Internet and philanthropy.”’
At the event, The Ford Foundation’s President, Darren Walker, said:
“The Internet rights are civil rights. And like so many other civil rights, they need to be secured, safeguarded, protected and celebrated.”
Walker then lauded FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler’s plan to regulate the internet as a public utility:
“… the direct consequence of the tireless efforts of many of you in this room, the organization you represent, to persuade, and to challenge, to evangelize” the principles behind net neutrality.”
One of the Soros-funded groups, Free Press, heavily lobbied the FCC and, according to the Daily Caller, “their pro net-neutrality arguments” were cited 40 times in the 400 pages of regulations.
Free Press’s co-founder, college professor Robert McChesney, has advocated for government subsidized journalism:
“In the end, there is no real answer but to remove brick by brick the capitalist system itself, rebuilding the entire society on socialist principles,” McChesney wrote in a 2009 essay.

To have people on here defend this marxist tyranny these communists call “net neutrality “
is ridiculous. And the Ford foundation is a communist group. Also the NY times , wash post et al are for net neutrality (all the marxists are).There was nothing wrong with the Internet for the first
few decades before the marxist Obama (and Soros) imposed their 400 pages of “fixes” to a non-existent problem
in 2015. Now many even one here a conservative forum are calling for obama’s initial 400 pages of soros government
regulations to stay. ridiculous
. If you supporters of this bs want socialism so badly why don’t you just move to Venezuela now
and join in the starvation and long lines for non-existent toilet paper.
It is my opinion that freedom last as long as Trump is president and pai is protecting the internet. not much longer after that. Obama was adding even more government regulations to all areas of the economy . This and this net neutrality will return once Trump and pai aren’t there any more.
I honestly don’t know enough about the issue. All I said was I already pay extra for fast speed internet, which supposedly this change would now allow me to do...
I was just confused.
Thanks for your excellent summary.
Thanks to President Trump for this win, which is another slap in Obozo’s commie face:.
The approval of FCC Chairman Ajit Pai’s proposal marks a victory for internet service providers like AT&T Inc., Comcast Corp. and Verizon Communications Inc. and hands them power over what content consumers can access.
Democrats, Hollywood and companies like Google parent Alphabet Inc. and Facebook Inc. had urged Pai, a Republican appointed by President Donald Trump, to keep the Obama-era rules barring service providers from blocking, slowing access to or charging more for certain content.
