Yesterday Trump literally saved the Internet and freedom

1. The Internet grew very well for 20 years without Obama’s and soros’ “net neutrality”
2. Pai the FCC commissioner said in a video while being grilled by liberal rags like politico that a lot of small isps have not been able to expand their network because Obama passed this net neutrality bit of communism in 2015.

3. Net Neutrality was just one move in a sequence of events to completely take over the internet. A sequence that happened so slowly none of you noticed it happening at all: This lays it all out :

4.Soros funded and is behind this “net neutrality”

Obama wanted to kill conservative speech.

Hillary was supposed to take over from Obama and finish the job.

Thank God for President Trump!

I would add that this doesn’t go far enough.

In too many cities, the local administration has entered into agreements with a single provider for Internet service.

For instance, when I lived in Lee’s Summit, MO, my option for cable was Time Warner. No other cable providers were allowed to service my area. And DLS wasn’t an option, as I was too far from the CO, and the city wouldn’t allow AT&T to upgrade their lines to U-Verse.

A friend lives in another suburb of KC, and her only option is Comcast. Again, AT&T isn’t an option.

A problem for both of us is we’re limited to terrestrial Internet. Satellite isn’t an option with most VPNs, due to latency.

The feds also need to extend “net-neutrality” all the way to the customer, due to the government mandated monopoly.

the first big lie is that the Internet needed government regulations to make it free and open.

The first of many, many lies from the Obullshit administration. Eight solid years of lies, distortions, obfuscations, misleadings wrapped up in a tsunami of Gubbermint Bullshit. That’s the sad legacy of that administration.

Ding Dong! The Net-Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch! The Net Neutrality witch.

Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead.

Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed.
Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. She’s gone where the goblins go,

Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let’s open up and sing and ring the bells out.
Ding Dong’ the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.

Let them know
The Net Neutrality Witch is dead!

In your linked article (which I liked) it linked to another article which had this passage in it:

"...When Net Neutrality was sold to the American people, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Tom Wheeler promised there would be no regulation of content. No censorship. The rules would allow the FCC to regulate content, but they would "forbear" and leave things alone. Now where have we heard that before? It sounds too much like, "If you like your Internet, you can keep your Internet." Now, like with Obamacare, the truth is coming forward as lawmakers and experts warn of a coming political censorship of the Internet...

It brings to mind the Supreme Court case Citizens United vs FEC.

where I read that person representing the government was expressly asked if the FEC had the power to prosecute and jail someone during an election if they distributed banned material, and when the person said something like "Well, yes, but we wouldn't do that, it isn't generally done..." Scalia leaned over and looking down said something like "We aren't in the business of leaving what constitutes freedom of speech up to the whims of unelected bureaucrats!" I can't find the exact passage, but it reminded me of that old quote from Beria (Stalin's head of the Soviet police state) "Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime." So when I see the quote "but they would "forbear" and leave things alone" I can see just what they intend for that.
