Net Neutrality is dead

[huntemup]

Proving once again, Politicians including the orange one who sometimes spends time in the whitehouse tweeting, really don’t give a _____about the people and what we want.

We get it, you don’t like Trump.

Well that doesnt exactly put me in exclusive company but in this case, Trump is to be lumped in with the rest of the useless politicians who are simply looking out for themselves and their own self interests, with no regard to what "the people" want.

So then, you a fan of the deal to kill net neutrality?

Lets say your internet service provider is run by a bigtime anti gun guy...hell, lets say they all are and as such he decides to severely slow down your internet speed when you attempt to access websites such as this one. Surely you see where this can become really problematic? When political views of those running ISP companies essentially steer us away from content we are seeking out simply bc they don't align with their views...well, suffice to say that's not a good thing.

well ****, this blows. I can see it now,
"Sign up today and receive 12 months of Facebook, Youtube, or ,a website of your choosing for free!"

In time of war there'll be internet rationing to "support the troops."

It's Trump's Fault.... that's how it works, doesn't everyone know he makes every decision and has the final word on everything? Duh....

(I hope the sarcasm is obvious)

So that is what was happening two years ago?

Government doesn't need to be involved in the internet or most things really

Your sarcasm, while noted, is misplaced in this case. Indeed this is on Trump. This is Trumps FCC led by the man Trump picked to head the FCC...

At the start of his presidency, Donald Trump picked Ajit Pai, a Republican member of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission and longtime foe of net neutrality regulation, to head the agency

If you put a fox in the hen house to guard the hens, you don't get to shift the blame on the fox for being a fox and killing your chickens. Likewise in this case, we can't blame Pai for doing exactly what he made no secret were his intentions with regards to net neutrality. But if you feel better we can also lay plenty of blame at the feet of your representatives who allowed this to happen without so much as a whimper.

How much more of your life would you like .gov to control? The Internet was working just fine without Obama's intervention.
