Probably as predictable as you trolling and throwing insults.

In post 18 you tell us you do not want corporations to run the net.
In post 22 you show us you not want uncle sam to run the net .
You seem to like free.
Where have you ever found anything in life that is free ?
You speak of a free market , that is a rich man's lingo.
Like many things in life it is a matter of perspective,
the rich folk knew they did not pay for the us marines
which were sent out to enforce their "free market".
So for the rich and well heeled that market did indeed seem free.
The marines knew damn good and well that nothing was free.
Smedley Butler wrote a book about it.

The FCC will vote on its proposal to end net neutrality on December 14th.

If you care :
(202) 224-3121 Capitol switchboard.

Free Market only means free to buy & sell whatever is desired...

NOT FREE STUFF!
Nothing in life is free.
If it were, you'd be a big ol blob on the floor doing absolutely nothing!

its very simple, the fcc got busted faking the comments and feed back they asked for.

they faked a consensus for something that will stop the great way that people can get their shit out there. in favor of those with money only being able to get their shit out there.

the fcc wants to allow internet giants to decide how fast any given site should load. they want facefucker and company to pay for faster access while the alternative voices, including sites like icmag will be slowed down to a crawl.

if it's to be a free internet then the internet needs to run at the same speed no matter what site someone is looking at. make it faster by upgrading the whole system, not by stealing it from the little guy.

equal speed for all users with the same plan! thats free market and thats what allows innovation and freedom of information. bottlenecking the internet in favor of twitheads and their corporate shill ilk, is as good as going to a world wide information monopoly.

it's real sick and goes against everything the internet is supposed to stand for. with any luck the EU won't let the corporations bribe lobby and pressure them into this .... bull shit.

Sarcasm I hope.

I bet Hillary supports Net Neutrality.


The fascist bit is rich. Do you even know what the words dribbling out your mouth mean?

not to make things too heated, but Fascism means the cooperation between state and private corporations in order to rule the masses. Facefook, Google, Twitter, all work with the state, much of the money they make is from making information about us available to the state and others. so when you have the state getting together with market monopolies i think it's not too much to call it fascist. specially when you want to allow those partner corporations to have premium internet speeds while slowing down those that are not in the state sponsored club of elite internet giants.

internet speed should depend on what i pay to get and not what sites i chose to visit.

i know that fascism has other connotations now, but the actual meaning of the word doesn't include the extermination camps etc.

k my trolling segment of the post is over ...so i pose one question;
how will startups compete against the likes of Google and Facebook when ISP's will simply side with the corporations? Companies like Google and Facebook will pay off ISP's to slow down their competition. It's called paid prioritization.


Many of the services people currently use would not exist (Netflix would be one example) without Net Neutrality.
NN is literally a regulation to keep the internet free from such regulation lol. It literally prevents what you're afraid of.
