| The Federal Communications Commission announced on Tuesday that it planned to dismantle landmark regulations that ensure equal access to the internet, clearing the way for companies to charge more and block access to some websites. |
| The proposal, put forward by the F.C.C. chairman, Ajit Pai, is a sweeping repeal of rules put in place by the Obama administration that prohibited high-speed internet service providers from blocking or slowing down the delivery websites, or charging extra fees for the best quality of streaming and other internet services for their subscribers. |

That's right America, that means that Comcast, Verizon and AT&T will be able to control what websites you can view. Let's say for instance that one of them doesn't like Joe's blog. Whelp guess what you can't access it now.
This is a major erosion of our freedom.
I’d see that as a plus.
Well now not just "big brother" watching what you are doing but 'big corporate will now decide what, when, where and how you can access information on the internet and charge you a premium for the privilege of accessing it! The poorest of people will suffer the most from this.
Is Obama still president?
Who is running the FCC Obama Dems ?
Let's remember the facts, until the FCC illegally overstepped their power in 2016, there was no such thing as net neutrality. Literally every single day before then, there was no net neutrality. The Democrats are lying. Don't fall for the power hungry.
It will require the hanging of those rat bast**ds, too.
How do our "leaders" think will BENEFIT "we, the people"?
And you can't stop cheering.
What do tyrants do? First, control the information you get.
That's why a radio will get a North Korean citizen executed.
Then, take the guns.
They are also doing their best there, too.
Are you THAT stupid to be going along with it? And VOTE for the gangsters who are putting it place?
You're going to be SO sorry.
Follow the money.. this is "draining the swamp"? Far from it. It IS the swamp.
Terrible news for everyone.
What...you mean the poor people who already get Internet Service for next to nothing? Oh my heart bleeds for them.
I think 1:21 and 1:22 should know that Democrats actually PROTECTED net neutrality. Give credit where credit is due.
I DON'T believe President Trump has seen this crap. Our Job is to Speak Out Now and Make him aware. This will NOT stand.
3:46 you can write letters to the white house online at https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/write-or-call
This will not benefit the American people one bit. The people it benefits are those receiving massive handouts by telecommunication companies. Write, call, fax, email to your representatives immediately.
2:20 this will affect us all. If your provider decides you have to pay extra for sbynews.com they can prevent you from accessing this blog if this legislation passes. Protect free information and prevent a tyrannical system.
We had the internet.
THEN the FCC illegally took control and "blessed" us with Net Neutrality.
To "protect" us from those big, mean companies.
When's the last time the government took over something and made it a better thing?
Obamacare? no. The Fed banking?
no.
I'll get back to you if I thing of something...
There is nothing neutral about net neutrality.
Please wake up people. The swamp like to name these laws something that has nothing to do with what they do.
"Affordable Care Act" ....... Really ???
442 and 613 you are so preoccupied with hating something because it's run by the government that your stupid little brain can't handle what this actually means for the future. Not that you would access anything to improve your cognitive function, but essentially a corporation would be free to control how and what you view.
This...this right here is one of the most worrying things I've ever read because people like you vote.
It is literally the neutrality of the internet. As in, the companies that provide you access to it so not get to decode which content you can access. You know who doesn't have net neutrality? Russia, North Korea.
Dear God I almost hope they abolish net neutrality and use it to keep you from spreading your stupidity
So the option to "cut the cable" for cable TV, and resort to internet streaming for TV content, will cease to exist, as the cable companies will just charge more for streaming when you cut off TV programming. Talk about a monopoly! You WILL get both your TV and internet from the cable company, or you WILL pay double for the internet. This is what Comcast wants out of this push to overturn net neutrality. As always, it's all about the money folks.
Boooooooooooo!
