They should have Congress give them the authority to regulate broadband now before the elections…The Republicans will do their best to make sure that doesn’t happen if they gain seats in Nov. ---

I think congress has full authority to declare broadband a vital infrastructure and regulate it’s neutrality and availability. If we pay farmers to grow food, we can surely pay to make sure we have a stable and far reaching broadband network, as long as the gov keeps their dirty spying hands out of it. I think I will write Higgens an e-mail. ---

If you bothered reading the article you would see a Republican was in charge of the FCC when the original restriction against Comcast to prevent them from blocking bittorrent was placed. ---

They named it “Net Neutrality” to make it seem like they are trying to help but in reality it gives them the power to block and control the flow of information. If you read the details, it gets kinda scary of what they can do if it passes. ---

If you read the details, it gets kinda scary of what they can do if it passes. Why would you say it’s good then? I don’t really think you fully understand. As I understand it, the FCC is FOR net neutrality which means that you cannot censor what your users do on the internet. They were trying to tell Comcast that they could NOT block specific traffic. This court overuled the FCC and told comcast they COULD block specific traffic (like p2p). Or am I misunderstanding? I don’t think I am. ---

Net Neutrality is basically an oxymoron which gives the government control over the internet; this can lead to censorship, violations of privacy, and backdoor deals between the government, ISP’s and others companies. Trust me, it’s not what you think it is. ---

> [@glitch](#): > > I didn’t, I’m saying it’s good it didn’t pass. Net Neutrality is basically an oxymoron which gives the government and ISP’s control over the internet; they can block whatever they want. Or consider sites they don’t like a “low priority” and ones they do a “high priority”. This can lead to censorship, violations of privacy, and backdoor deals between ISP’s and others companies.
