Obvious Communist ideal is obvious...

Hate to disagree with one of your coherent posts but this is being pushed through by the Republicans in the name of deregulation, rolling back government overreach and stop the stifling of innovation

I don't understand it completely but I've heard net neutrality is not good.  It is just another way for the government to insert itself where it is not wanted.  I'm generally on the side of less govt. intrusion into our lives. I'm no expert though.

My understanding ...

Forgive my impertinence, was that I had already fought this demon under the previous administrations dating back to Reagan.  Forgive my merging or inability to...

That a side chooses to take a side in this "Net Neutrality" b/s should show that there are sides to take.

AllGore invented DARPA who then inventID yep, mmm...

Yes. It's bad. Very bad. See my article for a simple explanation. Government allowing companies to both shaft the people and make money on it at the same time

Tell me more about your opposition when Obama signed onto it?

Well, sober pate. Obama and the Democrats enacted the bill to protect us and make net neutrality the law of the land. Trump and the Republicans want to overturn it. I.e. get rid of laws requiring net neutrality

In the name of current administration your comments have been stricken from the record under "Net Neutrality" law.

Apogees...

I know I'm probably not going to change your mind, TL, but this is what the other side of the argument is.  The basic argument is that free speech will be stifled as the government inserts itself more and more into internet governance.  I think it is a reasonable fear.

While you're at it, strike this: US government [NOAA] report says that climate change is real â€" and humans are to blame.  Conclusions of climate-change science analysis are at odds with US President Donald Trump’s policies.

It couldn't be more corruption based fraud, could it because that's how most things have been turning out lately?  :D

... By the government enacting a law to allow companies to censor and curbing free internet? And you're buying their pretext?

I'm trying to have a polite discussion.  No need to be smartass.  If I were conspiracy-minded, I'd say net neutrality gives them more cover for carrying out their dastardly plans.

Of course I am.  What business was it for them to butt into radio and tv regulation to begin with?  Why is more government good?  That's where you and I part.  I believe more government is just the opposite.  It stifles freedom.

Obama protected net neutrality by enacting the net neutrality law because the companies wanted the ability to "tailor" the access and charge for high speed. This new law would allow the companies to censor and charge you for the pleasure of something faster than dial-up

I do believe in trust-busting and breaking up monopolies because with those situations, competition is stifled but in general I'm against intense government regulations of business unless there is substantial reason and evidence to do so.

My dearest, darling 21. This is a government law that will cut back on internet freedom. I.e. free speech

The joke is on them: I'm ready to do nothing but shitpost on /pol/ and play Nethack for the next forty years. Fuck them. They can take their high-bandwidth VR killer-apps and shove them.

It didn't need protecting until Obama said it did.  Give the government an inch and they will take a mile.  What they will be doing is adding charges into your internet bill like they used to with old Ma Bell and AT&T phone bill.  Internet cost will go up for the average person.

This law stifles freedom

How many people still have dialup?  I think most people left that behind 15 years ago. Really I am not all that dogmatic or passionate about it and I don't claim to be an expert but I'm against it. We'll have to see who is right in 10 years.  If net neutrality continues and costs go up but service is still not what it could be then I'll say see I told you so.

We didn't need net neutrality until Obama told us we did.  Sorry.  I'm highly skeptical of the pro side of net neutrality.

First they came for my free speech by curtailing it on the internet and I did nothing ...
