FCC Schedules Crucial Net Neutrality Vote

[skitzo van]

First they make prohibitions on sounds on television, and now this.
This is possibly the least mature way to go about this but who cares,
fuck you FCC. Fuck you.

If these kinds of thing ONLY affected America then fair enough.. but these issues are worldwide issues, America DOESN'T NOT have the right to make laws about this.

Yet another case of of the U.S of Arrogance overstepping it's boundaries.

America isn't makeing policy for the whole world just the US. the FCC isn't telling the rest of the world how to run the internet. Save that hate for then next war or something. You know when we deserve the hate.

did you even read. The FCC is protecting your right to watch porn at the same rate you Google something

The idea that the FCC can accomplish meaningful Net Neutrality policy in a nation so under the thumb of corporate interests as America is laughable. The politicians are bought and sold by corporate interests before they even take office, corporate lobbyists influence and even entirely write up laws and feed them into the Congress through those shills, and large segments of the population are so brainwashed by corporate advertising that they will willingly throw away their own consumers rights rather than let "th' gummint" protect them from organisations who's sole motivation is to extract money from their wallets by any means necessary.

Case in point. We can but hope that, when the Great Paywall of America goes live, the EU maintains some semblance of sanity. The Chinese and the Aussies are already done for, it would appear we're going to be the last bastion of net freedom.

The fuck? The proposed ISP based filter in Australia is dead in the water and it's too contentious for a minority government to touch so it's unlikely to raise it's head for another 3 years and the whole fight can start again.

Unfortunately if a country as influential as the US knocks net neutrality on the head then a lot of other countries will be under corporate pressure to do likewise.

I don't think you can blame the US for outer countries jumping into the boiling pot of stupid with us of there own free will.If we had a gun to there head saying change or else that's another story entirely.

TLDR: can someone shorten it down for me? Sounds pretty bad either way

Really? Whether the sites you can access and the performance you get are based upon your ISPs preferences or not is being decided and you can't bother to read about it? In that case, I think you get whatever the powers that be decide you can have.

Also, I just shortened it for you.

I'm not blaming the US. I was simply saying that if net neutrality is stopped in the US then other countries will quickly follow suit.

The guy that was intended for was taking the stance of ZOMG America is the morality police again. When this clearly isn't one of those times. All i want is people to hate us for legitimate reasons not some made up ones.
