This impacts FR directly.

Just a few days ago a republican legislator in Michigan introduced a bill that would require certification of anyone who wishes to call themselves a journalist.

Did not a federal court judge ruled that “net nutrality” to be illegal?

They just changed definitions to avoid the SCOTUS. With the same results though.

For the NYT this is a means to eliminate competition.
The Obamao Regime are protofascists, that should be clear to any fair minded person.

How will they regulate content that originates on the internet outside of the USA?
Will they be like the old Soviet Union, and block content from
outside the USA?

I wonder when the American people are going to wake up to what is going on in this country and realize that this administration needs to go before the full 4 years. Where are the constitutional lawyers and when are they going to expose this so that a recall or some constitutional method can be imposed to remove this dictator and his henchmen and women?
We are dangerously close to becoming a communist nation. There are countries that are socialist that do not have an administration in which the elites are all wearing jackboots and saying All Hail This bloke in the WH is another Hugo Chavez and following his blue print to the T.

This is one of Schumer's most disgusting attempts at preventing free speech. It ought to be called the STFU Act.

A bit like DC keeps changing their gun laws after the Supreme Court ruled the old one illegal. They can pass regulations faster then the Supreme Court can rule on them.

I wonder if Canada is ready for the influx of Americans who would be willing to put up with their poor health care system yet would have freedom of speech etc? Canada, Iceland, Ireland, UK get ready your ancestors are coming. And then there will be those who stay and will fight it out..some will go but their observations in print we won’t see.We will no longer be the USA, We won’t even be the CSA. It will be known as the CSSA or MSA . How sad for all and the f*&^$% dimwits who did not do due diligence before voting will bear this mark upon themselves forevermore.

Unless there can be a Voice of Europe like Voice of America we will never know..all will be censored..we will not be able to even express our own views to family for fear of being turned in to the Gestapo.

“They can pass regulations faster then the Supreme Court can rule on them.”
And that, unfortunately is why they are winning.

That can not work. The Obamanation would just pull the plug on your ISP.

Seems like it would be fairly easy to overwhelm any regulatory efforts on the Internet.
I’ve been surfing for years and only read half of it! :)

The FEC can investigate and regulate political websites, the FCC will control the Service Providers, the SEC will check private and corporate investments into websites and from website owners........etc, etc, etc

Three words:
Anonymous Proxy Servers.
And remember this too: if the people of Romania were able to throw off the chains of tyranny, we may yet see the day when this illegal 0bamunist regime from the very top where the head of the rotting fish is, to the very bottom where the bureaucratic/Communist bottom feeders reside, ALL reap the benefits of the Nikolai Ceausescu retirement plan.
