The FCC promises to repeal the Net Neutrality Act.
 
What are your thoughts on this?

ProphetofGanja 11-21-2017 09:45 PM

Pretty f#cking bad

plastroncafe 11-21-2017 10:12 PM

Yeah, this is bad. Very very bad.

Utrommaniac 11-21-2017 10:56 PM

So here's my question...do they want violent revolution against them or will they be caught completely off-guard when/if that happens?

What will it take for Net Neutrality to be restored - because eventually, it will have to be. Or so I hope.

<Archer> Do you want a violent peasant uprising? Because this is how you get a violent peasant uprising.</Archer>

The people are the ants!

Utrommaniac 11-22-2017 03:25 PM

So...here's a question...

How on earth are they going to get this done when they pass it? How long will it take to organize? Will it even work like they think it will?


In regards to the actual bill that's being voted on...this is it.
Yes it is about "preventing" sex trafficking. Yes, it's really, really dumb.

We already had such laws in Russia, which allow to close any site without any kind of legal procedure beforehand.
Naturally it used primarily against political opponents of the regime.

Preventing us to know about the sex trafficking they're doing, more like it.

I mean, let’s be honest. I’m fairly certain that this is at least part of the reason they’re pursuing this...and blanket repealing of previous presidents’ executive orders....and just tell the population its to control some scary thing.

*shrug*

Someone will bring a lawsuit about this fairly quickly and it’ll be a supreme court issue.

There will be a revoluiton against the US goverment or any other goverment the minute that something llike pass. Millions of people will be on the streets demadning it to be deleted. Goverment will be down in at least days if not hours after this pass if it pass. It like suicade. It like they want the whole americans against their goverment.

No there won't. Maybe a pitter patter of fading protest. Everyone is too chickensh*t nowadays.

Shiro Kame 11-28-2017 12:40 PM

People who benefit from it are now trying to censor protests. It's so bad that Tumblr will delete tags and posts related to net neutrality.

That actually is a pretty good point, but the question is if that will even work. The question become actually getting to that point.

EDIT
Actually it could...

What do you mean?

Utrommaniac 11-30-2017 08:12 PM

Basically, they still have to go through legal courts to actually get the repeal passed. And when they do that, Pai has to bring recent evidence that it's necessary, for which he has very little.

I provided three articles to describe that exactly.

Vote delayed (maybe?) because of possibly FAKE comments from FAKE accounts.

Net Nutrality is dead. It goes to court next Lets hope the FCC Gets sued by ACLU and other places

Utrommaniac 12-14-2017 11:31 AM

It has to go to court first.

Where it will inevitably be struck down because support of Net Neutrality is bipartisan. The vote may have gone like they wanted, but they have a very long way to go before they can try anything.
