Looks like their happy with their leadership
Good for them. It is a state issue.
It won’t be long and California will be Venezuela.
If Obama being for it didn’t make it clear net neutrality was a bad idea, California looking to make it law should make it crystal clear.
California, here I come.......not.
Yes, EVERYTHING should be a state issue.
The federal government is told how to run by the constitution. If it’s not there, it’s a state issue.
Can you imagine how this would have played out had President Trump done this.
Another reason to avoid California like the plague.
True that.
Would seem to run afoul of the lefties’ notion of the Commerce Clause.
LOL — Good luck with the mess they’ll be creating for their citizens. Perhaps they can mandate FREE internet for their illegal alien occupiers and other “downtrodden groups”.

Please don’t make a generalization like that. Everyone I talk to Loathes, Despises, and Hates Jerry Brown and his RAT cohorts. Hitler would have recruited them all.
So California is practicing federalism?
Hey, knock yourself out. Good luck, and keep in in your borders.
The idea of trying to restore the restraints of NN at a state level is nearly impossible. I think this fool is virtue signaling. but let them try, I hope they do. It will just make Ca even more expensive to live in. Jeez these people are nuts.
You can’t require net neutrality in California - it’s technologically IMPOSSIBLE to guarantee because the traffic will inevitably come from out of state.
That’s why it’s a federal issue - DUH.
Net Neutrality was NEVER about fairness or equality but about government control over CONTENT on the internet. The left is pissed that they can’t control the narrative on the internet and they want to BADLY. That’s why there’s such a push on this under the guise of free speech but they completely and totally ignore the censorious actions of Facebook, Google and ISPs which actively and continuously shut down conservative viewpoints on the internet. In fact the left cheered when the Daily Stormer was (and continues to be) completely blocked from the internet because they’re Nazis.
And yet all I heard from the Net Neutrality temper tantrum was how people were going to be censored by the ISPs. Of course when you brought up the Daily Stormer of an example about how Net Neutrality didn’t prevent that I was immediately told to shut up and stop deflecting the issue.
So there ya go.
Good. Let California neutralize the net in their state.
So if they’re going to impose state-level regulations on entities which operate on a national and, in most cases, international basis, that means that those providers and associated entities are going to need to set up an entirely separate service structure for users inside that one state
The easiest, least complicated solution for internet providers is to simply apply California rules nationwide - thus bringing it back for all of us, which is what all big companies do when there is some California regulation, like air pollution - the auto makers just apply that rule to all products - its cheaper.
In this case, nationwide application of California rules is far cheaper than setting up an expensive structure just for California and then getting hit by Californians and the State for unfair business practices when they (the providers) have to charge California customers more.
Another word for censorship.
