Is FCC Declaring ‘Open Season’ on Internet Freedom?

Big Government ^ | 11/17/09 | Scott Cleland

[Nachum]

The FCC, in proposing to change the definition of an “open Internet” from competition-driven to government-driven is setting a very dangerous precedent; that it is acceptable for countries to preemptively regulate the Internet for what might happen in the future, even if they lack the legitimacy of constitutional or legal authority to do so, or even if there is thinnest of justification or evidence to support it.

the FCC would regulate roughly 2,000 companies, for what one has admitted it did

By this retarded "logic", there shouldn't be any laws against paedophilia -- 1999 people out of 2000 would never do that anyway.

The government wants what all governments want, namely, more power. The government fears anything that it cannot control. It would love nothing better than to control the Internet, and thereby control the flow of information. The Internet is the people's only source to the truth.

They are waiting for their “master” to get back from China where, I’m sure, he was able to pick up a few pointers for them.

net neutrality is just denying property rights to isp.
This is just terrible, but what do you expect from commie rats?

Fasten your seat belts everyone, and get ready for the ride. It promises to be a tumultuous one, where the first amendment right is jeopardized.
