Net Neutrality is bad policy that will hurt consumers and frankly is down right illegal. Hopefully with an all-hands-on-deck approach, we can come together to stop net neutrality as quickly as possible.

The same argument all over again. How is letting major telco monetize every bit going over the internet HELPing consumers exactly? Paying more for less functionality IS the future, if the telco's have their way. Thanks to them carving up the country, there is precious little choice for consumers at their house, when it comes to internet options.

The present form of net neutrality is BAD. But some of the core points of it are not.

——————The same argument all over again.——————

It’s the same marxists over and over again.

They don’t change. Their goal hasn’t changed. Why would my argument change?

This is disconnected from reality, in two ways. Regulations have an inherent cost to them. Studies have been done that prove how expensive regulations get.

Net neutrality will make things more expensive, not less.

The second way that this is disconnected from reality is only looking at this from an economic aspected. These marxists pushing all of this could care less about your 39.95 or 79.95 or whatever per month you pay for your broadband. This is about freedom. It always is for marxists. It was in Cuba, it was in Russia, it was and still is in China. To think that marxists have now somehow changed just because the internet is on the line is an equivalent of burning history books.

-————The present form of net neutrality is BAD. But some of the core points of it are not.-—————

As a birthchild of marxist thought, every single part of it are bad. Even those parts which seem good on the surface, are nothing more than a means to an end. This is a historical truth for this type of ideology.

If the ISPs were so bent on charging more for less functionality they’d have done it already. The ISPs face competition, if yours censors the net in a way you don’t like you can go to another. The government is a monopoly, if the FCC starts censoring the net in a way you don’t like you get to learn to like it. Putting the government in charge of communication is bad, that’s why the first amendment says not to do it.
