President-elect Trump has made it clear that he is more than a little hostile towards the FCCs implementation of net neutrality, both in his own words and, today, the appointment of two long-time adversaries of the policy to his transition team.
Jeffrey Eisenach is an economist and government veteran who worked at the FTC in the 80s; hes worked for a number of think tanks and research institutes that transmute industry money into custom expert critique, and under their auspices was a vocal opponent of the FCCs current net neutrality rules. The New York Times did some excellent reporting on the man back in August, if youre curious about the possibility of conflict of interest.

‘Net NEUTRALITY’
A term that could have easily come out of Atlas Shrugged. Rand did tell us that our adversaries would use the nicest terms to label evil ideas. Net Neutrality is/was just the Left’s attempt to eliminate their adversaries (us). I am still fearful about the Senate going along with Obama and giving website naming rights to hostile foreign countries.

He should also repeal the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 and go back to the 1947 law outlawing propaganda.

We need to dismantle net neutrality, and also take back our DNS control.
Then we can begin to dismantle the EPA.

Stop using racist terms.
No matter how you disguise them, you MUST stop doing it.
If not you will be suspended again.
To: Lazamataz
So, by calling it net neutrality it is really a misnomer and so yes means no and the public is duped.
Same ol’ same ol’ from the left.
