Here we go again....

Please explain how government will be controlling the internet. Specifically.

Net neutrality rules are not "the government controlling the Internet." They are the government not allowing corporations to control the Internet.

The government imposing censorship over the Internet would be government controlling the Internet. The government imposing net NOT-neutrality to, say, prevent equal access to sites critical of the government or of the current administration would be equally dodgy. When you see something like that happening, or even proposed, then you may be concerned. What we see, instead, is a set of regulations designed to prevent any private agency from imposing exactly the sort of controls that we would object to on the part of the government.

Net neutrality is not a threat to a free Internet. It is a safeguard for that freedom.

Let's see, according to the article, the bill was DEFEATED. And even if it hadn't been, Obama promised to veto it.

the FCC is a government body. It will decide what websites show up on searches. Therefore, it will be controlling the internet in a way that picks what it wants people to see.
its not fucking rocket science.

Don't expect this to sink in with any of the idiots on this site.

LOL, it will? Please show ANYWHERE that this is what will be happening or even remotely close to what will be happening. So if the government is deciding "who shows up on searches" that means the government will be taking over Microsoft and Google and telling them what to do?

Obviously to you, this topic is as equally confusing as rocket science. You're arguing a topic you are making blatantly clear you don't understand at all.

That's like saying that the constitution preventing the government from violating your rights is the constitution controlling your rights.

God, where did all these morons come from?

This is just plain sad. The Government has been chomping at the bit to take the Internet for years. Next will come the big Taxes and censorship. You can bet on that. When the Government gets in,they're in it to win it. You give em an inch and they'll take a Billion Miles. More Government involvement in the Internet is bad for all Americans. This was the logical progression for the Police/Prison State though. I expected this would happen since 911. They have to be watching,listening,and controlling the Citizens. It is very sad but not unexpected.

Well, if they do do something we don't like, we can vote people out. That's not so easy when you're talking a corporation. Even shareholder revolts don't work so well, because so much stock is held by other corporations.

ironic is that your screen name is Liberty yet you are arguing against that very thing when it comes to the internet.

if china can decide what shows up, trust me, history has shown time and time again when you open up the can of worms it just keeps growing. its a slippery slope as with everything government has EVER done. social security was meant to be a 1 to 1 tax employee to employer. it grew out of whack. the income tax was supposed to be like 5% for the top 10% and it grew out of whack. medicare, medicaid, EVERYTHING. it starts small then it grows and becomes tyrannical. if you knew any history you would understand how dangerous this is. but you dont. youre a typical brainwashed moron living in the fantasy world of liberalitis, the chronic condition of political and historical ignorance.

And you can thank the GOP for trying to pass the measure. Apparently net neutrality is a jobs killing measure.

You avoided answering in the other thread. Let's try again here. Please define what the government is taking in terms of the internet. When you don't respond everyone will know that you too have no clue what this issue is about.
