How many other "leftist plot" scare tactics have you fallen for that never panned out? Seems you guys never remember all the scary predictions by the right wing fear machine that turned out to be bullshit.

Regulation is why the net is going to stay open. A true capitalist doesn't run an open system, it's bad for business.

Regulation is why the net is going to stay open. A true capitalist doesn't run an open system, it's bad for business.

A true capitalist will use a wide open internet to maximize profit.

Regulations is how the government will become richer at the expense of the middle and lower class.

That would be the opposite of what they would do. They would drive the traffic to the sites that pay for such a thing and censor sites they didn't want you at, like competitors and those who said their service sucks. Learn capitalism.

CBS doesn't jump on the air and say hey, guess what, a new study says NBC is better. That's not capitalism where you don't promote anyone but yourself.

Government regulations in this case serve the same function as the first amendment.

That's correct. The "religions" and "free speech", meaning access, are equal. Just like the phone service, call whatever number you damn well please.

Internet censorship is not coming.

The argument is nothing more than 'the sky is falling.'

If a Repub president is elected, ending net neutrality and censoring the internet is one of the first things he would do.

Like Ebola?

Hate to burst yer bubble (well not really) but the 'next' time FCC censors anything will be the first. This is nothing but speculation fallacy.
But you have fun with the Chicken Little action figure.

You're a fucking idiot. Government censorship of the internet would violate the first amendment. Do you really believe the courts will stand for that?

You're going to go to your grave repeating your "Just wait and see" mantra, and will still believe your own bullshit. Fucking pathetic.

Granny wonderin' what we got now - Republican neutrality rules?...

FCC Scraps Net Neutrality Rules in US
December 14, 2017 - There could soon be a major change in what Americans see on the internet after federal regulators voted Thursday to scrap traditional "net neutrality" rules.

Thursday's 3-2 vote by the Federal Communications Commission went along party lines, with Republican members voting to end the regulations and Democrats dissenting. Individual states will also be barred from enacting their own rules governing the internet. Net neutrality has been the norm since the internet was created more than 30 years ago. The FCC under former President Barack Obama formalized net neutrality rules in 2015. The idea of net neutrality is for giant internet providers to treat all content equally. The Obama-era rules prevented them from giving preferential treatment to their own services and blocking and slowing down content from rivals. Consumer groups and internet companies like net neutrality.

Federal Communications Commission Commissioners Mignon Clyburn, left, and Jessica Rosenworcel answer a question from the media after an FCC meeting to vote on net neutrality regulations, Dec. 14, 2017, in Washington.​

But FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, said the internet needs what he calls a "light touch" instead of what he believes is unnecessary government regulation. "Prior to 2015, before these regulations were imposed, we had a free and open internet," Pai told NBC ahead of the vote. "That is the future as well under a light touch, market-based approach. Consumers benefit, entrepreneurs benefit. Everybody in the internet economy is better off with a market-based approach." But Democratic FCC member Mignon Clyburn said the FCC was "handing the keys to the internet" to a "handful of multibillion-dollar corporations."

British engineer Tim Berners-Lee, creator of the World Wide Web, said this week that getting rid of net neutrality rules meant internet service providers "will have the power to decide which websites you can access and at what speed each will load. In other words, they'll be able to decide which companies succeed online, which voices are heard — and which are silenced." Officials in several states, including New York and Washington, said they would challenge the new rules in court.
