Of course, if only I knew I would join you in fighting to end civil liberty in favor of dictatorship/
It's a hell of a lot better than the FCC monopoly to AT&T that reigned while Title II of the 1934 telecom act was in force - EXACTLY what the Internet was just placed under.
Who do you think the FCC will designate as the sole ISP for the nation? Verizon? Comcast? We'll have to wait and see,
You're what, 14 or 15? You weren't born when these rules were last in place, but many of us were - we remember a government monopoly of telephones and the outrageous long distance charges. We remember only three stations on TV, because the FCC outlawed any competition using the authority of the 1934 act.
Don't be a moron, the FCC will designate a government monopoly as the only ISP. From 1934 to 1987 there was one phone company - AT&T based on the power the FCC just usurped over the internet. If this were to stand, within 2 years there would be only a single ISP. Thankfully, this will not stand.

And where is the FCC's new authority to 'censor content'?
The same authority they use to censor content in radio and television. Hasn't anyone learned from the "camel's nose under the tent" strategy that statists have been using for like EVAR?
Show us where in the FCC regulation passed yesterday that affirms net neutrality where the FCC claims any authority to regulate content in a manner they couldn't already do before the vote.
They claim authority to regulate the Internet, period. Once you accept that little slight of hand, the rest is cake.
Then it will be remarkably easy for you to find where in the FCC regulations passed yesterday that the FCC was granted new authority to regulate content on the internet that they didn't have before.
Please do so now.
The lack of evidence only strengthens their beliefs.
Good luck on getting an answer
