Follows much the same route as Russia wanting to cut itself off from the internet. Most of US cable news is nothing but a DNC commercial and social media is banning most conservative views. Heck, Trump supporters get accosted in certain restaurants, school and in some areas outside their front doors.

"Our systems would be more effective if regulation created common standards for verifying political actors," he said.

Translation: Crush the little people who want their voice to be heard; allow only the designated Political Elite to have their say.

He’s willing and able to pay whoever needs to be paid, so why should he care? Government regulation equals graft, kickbacks and influence peddling. That’s how so many dangerous drugs get FDA approval, and phony fuel mileage standards are certified. Trusting the government to get it right is foolhardy.

Anyone guess what he’d consider harmful?

When he says “harmful content”, he means “conservative”.

Let me translate: “We want laws with enormous numbers of holes in them so that we can avoid these pesky scandals and lawsuits while spying on our users freely”.

What we need is less tech companies to hire H1B visas and hire more Americans. Zuckster is known for hiring H1B visas because of cheap labor in the guise of “we can’t find citizens with experience”. Every time I hear a CEO state they cannot find enough citizens with experience, I laugh. These stupid CEOs think that the workers outside of America are smarter and I always say well they were smarter than your hiring staff. I had to do a project for my master degree where we had to do a report on a CEO. The CEO I chose was one who said it openly he did not hire anyone over 25 because they had better brains to be innovative. That is a lawsuit just waiting to happen. I think I need a good lawyer and an app to his business, let’s see how innovative I can be with his checkbook. He is from the Ukraine.

Regulation protects the status quo... It protects the top from challenges below it. Whether it is a daycare center or a beauty shop of an internet giant. In the US we will always have some regulation.

The question is why so much? If local and state government regulate something, why is it necessary for the Feds to also regulate it?

Brussels has recently increased internet regulation greatly. Is facebook seeking a regulation war between the US and Brussels?

and strangely FB suggests that FB be the primary regulator.
This was the original plan for “internet neutrality”
