NOT TRUE: There is a candidate who is doing something about it!
Stripping the FCC of it power over the Internet is the intent of a bill proposed earlier this week by lightning rod, Tea Party-affiliated Sen. Ted Cruz (R–Tex.).
Section 706 of the Telecommunications Act gives the FCC jurisdiction over "telecommunications services" to achieve a whole host of regulatory goals, like promoting competition and removing barriers to infrastructure investment. Without reclassifying ISPs as so-called Title II common carriers, which would essentially mandate net neutrality as an automatic requirement, Section 706 is what gives the FCC the ability to impose any rules on ISPs whatsoever.
If passed, Cruz’s bill would strip the FCC of its Section 706 authority, leaving the agency unable to enforce the plan approved by the Commission's Democrats that aims to prevent ISPs from slowing down traffic by non-toll paying content providers to levels below what they promised to consumers.
"The FCC's latest adventure in 'net neutrality' would stifle innovation and subject the Internet to nanny-state regulation from Washington,” Cruz said in a statement. ‟Internet freedom has produced robust free speech for billions and a wide-open incubator for entrepreneurs to generate jobs and expand opportunity. A five-member panel at the FCC should not be dictating how Internet services will be provided to millions of Americans.”
Cruz’s argument is that the Internet economy has flourished in the United States in recent decades simply because it has remained largely free from cumbersome government regulation. He charged that any regulatory changes to the way the government treats ISPs should come from the slower-moving, more deliberate legislative process.
‟Congress, not an unelected commission, should take the lead on modernizing our telecommunications laws.” Cruz continued. ‟The FCC should not endanger future investments by stifling growth in the online sector, which remains a much-needed bright spot in our struggling economy."
But you do know the monster Obama will Veto any bill right even those stopping his unconstitutional actions like this one would if passed.
I wonder if Cruz can do other thinks like having hearings for the FCC debacle that is meant to enslave us all. nothing is more important than freedom of speech and the people getting accurate information. and this is what Obama is trying to take away to control all the means of information production so that we get only what they want us to read as they took over the TV news
