Bill to Reverse Net Neutrality Repeal Gets 30th Sponsor...But Will Still Fail

in #dtube7 years ago


Yep, I've talked about this before, a good effort from Democrats to build some consensus around protesting the FCC's gutting of net neutrality, but it's sadly not going to even have a CHANCE at passing...and even if it did, the House and/or Trump would ultimately shoot it down

It is disgusting to me that politicians care more about holding party lines and pleasing lobbyists than actually doing what the people they are supposed to representing want. Same with the organizations that are supposed to be put in place to protect the consumer... cough FCC cough.

I think this Net Neutrality has been the most obvious proof of that in my life time, and I hope that it will open peoples eyes to what our government has really become (or maybe always has been?).

My question to you... how do we fix this? What ultimately will change this "hold the party line" or "please the lobbyists" feeling of our representatives? There are plenty of examples of Dems doing this as well, it feels like its everyone. Term limits? Make lobbying illegal?

The way we fix this is to stop championing legislation that we have never read.
You know you have not read one word of the bill and are just in on the warm fuzzy name of Net Neutrality with Puppies.
If you read the legislation you would know that it gave the federal government the power to do the exact thing you are afraid of.
The FCC just saved us in the silent majority from you in the ignorant mob that were fooled by a friendly sounding name.

Our government is actively working against us.

Let's give internet regulation power to the FCC. So Trump can lean on providers to shut down "www.DonaldTrumpsucks.com".

Amazing how easy it is to get people to hand over their freedom to the state.

Hahaha.... checkmate son!

Net Neutrality. A government solution to a government-created problem.

Not even that. The problem never even existed.
People are begging for more laws to protect them from fiction.
No ISP ever 'bundled' any website nor has plans to because they would obviously lose billions overnight if they tried.

Yep. The Dems are posturing on this one for fundraising purposes. Elections are coming up and they need the money! Not that the GOP doesn't do this kind of stuff, too!

Yeah but doesn't that kind of belie the reality that Net Neutrality is a good thing to support, regardless of reasons? We cannot afford to throw Net Neutrality supporters to the curb because they support it "for the wrong reasons." This is already a tenuous fight as it is, and any ally is one we need.

i agree with you and this is a technological news..
thanks your informative info..
carry on..

The big guy always wins! :(
