And lets not pretend like the FCC is at all competent enough to prevent people looking up whatever they damn well please. Private corporations however, can do quite a lot with the profit motive. | |||

The FCC has the power to enact rules on HOW an ISP delivers its content, not rules on WHAT content may be delivered. Telling people that all cars must travel no greater than 65 MPH on the freeway is not the same as banning all Honda Accords. Please cite a law, ruling, or administrative memo detailing this power. Don't worry, I've got all day. Quote:
Secondly, I'm a conservative, I just don't worship your god emperor. Third, have you seen a doctor for your ADHD? For like the 6th time now, the states can launch their own NN regulations, but they will likely fail in Federal court. I know that planning ahead is an alien concept to you, but it's something that grownups like to do because they have responsibilities. Quote:
And, no corporations shouldn't be allowed to throttle either. If we were in a perfect setting of monopolistic competition, NN wouldn't be needed; you could just buy service from a competing ISP who didn't throttle. Except we're not. At best, most markets are an oligopoly, but typically they are duopolies and monopolies. This means that it's a matter of "when" and not "if" they'll abuse consumers to the detriment of the general welfare of the nation. I know 4th grade is exciting now, but just wait until you have Economics 101 in about 15 years. Quote:

but it was sloppily put under title II which, allows the FCC to make unilateral decisions about stuff like can it be throttled without public consent. So in this case you had a government (with an authoritarian demigod as a leader mind you, LOL guess the left was wrong about that) that luckily decided that it wouldn't use this power to take away your freedom, but they could have just as easily banned fake news if they wanted to. Left you alone with the trump news channel and fox news. So it was just one of many bad, ill prepared, not thought out actions of the Obama administration. | |||

![]() One week ago they made a ruling about how the internet works, despite public concent. The exact same gorup of people have the power to make the ruling that we will from henceforth not allow any websits that support usenet or torrenting.
Here is all the info you need to know how the FCC works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commun...ns_Act_of_1934 The FCC has a ton of power, 1934 was a terrible year for Americans. | ||

I can say that I own the moon, but it doesn't make it true. I know this is more nuanced than Red Fish Blue Fish, so please tell me if I lose you. NN supporters are not stating that a Title II classification is the best solution. There are some valid (if not weaker) arguments against it from a Constitutional perspective. Nor are we opposed to statewide regulations if they are allowed to stand against preemption. Most NN supports feel that the best solution is direct congressional legislation that all data must be treated equally. But, you're not seeing that. You're just jacking off about "NN = CENSORSHIP" without even understanding how or why it works. "Because I said so" isn't how the law works. I know that's what your dad says when you need to eat your vegetables or when its Goofy Time, but that doesn't fly for civil authority. If you're going to tell me that NN, as it was enacted, allows the Federal government carte blanche to censor websites, you'll need to cite the exact rule or law that allows it to do so. And until you do that: Do Not Pass Go. Do Not Collect $200.
