Obama hacks another limb off representative republic: FCC does Net Neutrality

[asterism]

Really?

That's what you think it is?

And just who do you think developed "the backbone" in the first place?

The government also developed the technology that makes the cordless drill possible. Does that give the FCC or any other agency de-facto control over what kind of shelves I am allowed to hang?

Uh oh! Strawman!

How so? The supposed authority the government has over the Internet is argued to be based on the fact that the government developed the initial concept.

right....Al Gore said he invented the internet.....so that means he gets to control what you post on your site....

Sprint, Verizon, etc.

Don't embarrass yourself by claiming their 3g or 4g networks owe their exsitence to the internet Al Gore invented decades ago.

That, and the FCC has no authority over the internet. The SCOTUS already said so. This is a naked power grab by a discredited President who can't get anything passed through the legislative process anymore.

You're one of those fucknuts who think the internet is a public good, aren't you, fucknuts?

Back down there sonny boy. You could get hurt.

And yeah..the government developed the telecommunications backbone..and keeps sinking money into it. The FCC should have jurisdiction. Content should not be controlled by people with the most money.

Isn't that the government?

Actually no. First off..he never said that. Second, he backed a bill that financed r&d. Third, the people that actually did the development gave Al Gore an award recognizing Mr. Gore's contribution to the effort.

And Net Neutrality isn't about controlling content. It's about taking obscene wealth out of the equation. Someone's opinion should not weigh more then someone elses opinion because they have more money.

Wealth does not equal free speech. That's a ludicrous concept. And a dangerous one.

Bill Gates is worth 54 Billion dollars. Who in government is worth that much?

As a collective it is the most influential and powerful entity in this country.

It's representative body made up of elected officials.

Actually Gore said he "took the initiative in creating the internet"....

The internet is doing just fine.....you stick the government with all its rules in there and watch it fail....you want internet PC and censorship...?

I'd rather have several large "wealthy" companies in control than the government.....companies can come and go...even big wealthy ones....companies must be responsive to survive market demand.....government just controls and controls, is not responsive, and never goes away...

No Gov't. control. One more way the socialist obama can gain control. He knows politically he has no integrity.

Net neutrality is now about taking obscene wealth out of the equation? Um, Google anyone?

Who in Government has the power to control more than $54 Billion? That list is too large to post here.

 

[snjmom]

companies must be responsive to survive market demand

Not true when all the governmental power lies with supply instead of demand.

 

[Misty]

The 95 democrats that supported net neutrality lost the election. The people have spoken. The will of the people.

And from what I've experienced no one blocks information on the Internet more than the government itself.

I don't want to pay for something I'm already getting for free.

 

[snjmom]

I don't want to pay for something I'm already getting for free.

Then you support net neutrality?

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

I think it has been determined that Al Gore, while a darling of the progressives and the lefties, is a colossal fraud.

Next.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Problem here guys is, whenever I hear the government promoting fairness or neutrality, we're gonna end up with less of both.
