Senate Democrats to force vote on FCC net neutrality repeal

Thanks for the pin

But of course it's the Republicans in the senate who have been bought and paid for and they will vote for net neutrality.

Here is a list of the 265 members of Congress who sold you out to ISPs, and how much it cost to buy them:

Oops...i mean

Republicans in the senate who have been bought and paid for and they will vote AGAINST net neutrality.

I don’t understand net neutrality. Won’t it slow down sites like GLP?
If google, att, and Comcast are in control of everything won’t they slow sites like this down to the point of being unviewable? Or just block it?
It looks to me like this is all about censoring the real news.
How am I wrong? I really don’t know.

If schmuck jewmer wants something, that means we need the OPPOSITE to happen. Guy is a menace, a blackmailed POS criminal pedophile liar.

Normally I'd agree you, but net neutrality means different things to different people. We need to really understand this ruling and whatever crap Scumbag shumer is actually trying to stiff us with. He may actually be right, but the source is suspect.

I don't fully understand the definitions and implementations each side is expecting and proposing.

i dont understand net neutrality either...

i have been on the internet pretty much everyday since 1998, i have been visiting this website since 2007, net neutrality was signed into law in 2015...

to be honest, i dont ever remember been charged extra for accesing any website, i didnt notice any difference on the internet and how it behaves prior or after net neutrality.

Net neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers must treat all data on the Internet the same, and not discriminate or charge differently by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or method of communication. For instance, under these principles, internet service providers are unable to intentionally block, slow down or charge money for specific websites and online content.

If Trump signs this rule as already passed by FCC, ISPs will be able to intentionally block, slow down or charge money for specific websites and online content.

WRONG. The legislation is called 'Net Neutrality', but it actually ALLOWS for the things I highlited in bold there. Repealing 'Net Neutrality' is an important and necessary step forward. You realize that under this 'Net Neutrality' Google, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter have all been censoring the shit out of people with certain political views? Open your fucking eyes please.

Thread: Not just in the USA - Net neutrality: US ruling could affect internet access in Australia, groups warn

Read the rule and come back to us.

SUMMARY:

In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) establishes rules to protect and promote the open Internet. Specifically, the Open Internet Order adopts bright-line rules that prohibit blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization; a rule preventing broadband providers from unreasonably interfering or disadvantaging consumers or edge providers from reaching one another on the Internet; and provides for enhanced transparency into network management practices, network performance, and commercial terms of broadband Internet access service. These rules apply to both fixed and mobile broadband Internet access services.

Section 105 of the Net Neutrality Rule.

105. No-Blocking. First, we adopt a bright-line rule prohibiting broadband providers from blocking lawful content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices. This “no-blocking” principle has long been a cornerstone of the Commission's policies. While first applied in the Internet context as part of the Commission's Internet Policy Statement, the no-blocking concept dates back to the Commission's protection of end users' rights to attach lawful, non-harmful devices to communications networks.

This protection too will be eliminated and ISPs will be allowed to block any content they wish. Even GLP.

before 2015, have any of you ever had a website blocked by your isp because of the lack of "net neutrality" at the time?

Dance, Ajit, dance!

I'm not sure. We have all had sites that wouldn't load. After net neutrality is gone, there will be no rule prohibiting any ISP from blocking or throttling any site they wish for any reason.

glp needs a gif of that

since Soros hates this repeal it must be a good thing somehow.

comcast needs to die

we need an an open market and good competetion.

internet in usa is total garbage


isps cannot be held accountable for what their users do

isps cannot be involved in favoring service

they need to be like a phone. you pay for a phone line, you do what you want with it and its not the phone companies business or responsibily.

data caps are a fraud. they are totally fake bullshit and 'capping data' use should be 100% illegal

it shouldn't have to be illegal because customers should immediately cancel their srevice if a company tries to implement data caps. but people are too stupid apparently
people are so dumb about technology they dont understand that data cap is total fraud

what they really wantis for internet to be just like cable tv. you pay for each web site you want to go to. and the options are twitter, facebook, instagram. you buy 'the social media' package. then you buy the shopping package.

quit using facebook. go back to making your own web pages. use separate clients for chat, email, etc. don't use one company's services for everything.

oh well too late everyone is too fucking stupid and gave up everything the internet is done

When Obama did this, Congress tried to stop it.

One day perhaps you will be able to use your own brain, think and make independent decisions.

That is exactly why the big business ISPs like Verizon, Pai's previous employer, want to eliminate net neutrality.

From what I understand, regulating the internet like a public utility and turning it over from the FCC to FTC would allow liberals to get a "fairness doctrine" enforcement, censoring what they don't like which, of course, is what people like Hillary Clinton have demanded for years. They're also throwing shit fits about fast lanes when certain traffic is already prioritized, making the internet run smoother. They will wreck the internet which has been fine without their interference. There's also some shady shit with turning control of the IP numbering system over to China which was uncovered by Ted Cruz and some other congress person during the brief period NN was in effect. By the mere fact that every corrupt liberal and their billionaire donors want this, you KNOW it's anti freedom. Liberals want freedom of speech shut down and their Stasi type of control over all communication.

Wolf in sheep's clothing.

If the government is allowed to STOP companies from slowing data rates, they have the power to stop access to sites the govt deems a security risk, harmful to the economy, harmful to the "will of the people", it's to protect the children, it's bigotry so it must be stopped (and we the govt will define bigotry for you).

Once the 2015 Obama nose under the tent is sneaked in then so much more is bolted on to "nudge" society in the direction the swamp desires.

Businesses have long gamed out what will happen if they start charging for the frivolous things, like facebook, that everyone currently uses.

The data hits will drop to near zero, there will be near zero advertising income never mind access fees paid, and those sires will very, very quickly go bankrupt.

Business suicide, they know it and only the most stupid and ignorant will try it.

That's bullshit. NN has only been a thing for a couple of years and the internet has only expanded and thrived without government trying to control it. Liberals are hollering sites will start charging for access when they already do. Many are behind paywalls. This is a liberal hissy fit because they want CONTROL over speech.

Exactly. We'll end up with European or Chinese style censorship which is extensive.

Dumbfuck. How about Democrats being bribed to vote for Net Neutrality?

"lawful" content - to be determined by govt Stasi
"apps", "services", "non-harmful devices" - all to be defined by govt Stasi

Liberals hate freedom of speech. They cane NEVER be trusted with any control over the internet which has perfectly since it's inception without their control. They're also so stupid they think they're going to get free Netflix with NN.

Good get the damned government out of the imternet! They had there camel nose under the tent.
