Obama says FCC should reclassify internet as a utility

President Obama has come out in support of reclassifying internet service as a utility, a move that would allow the Federal Communications Commission to enforce more robust regulations on it and protect net neutrality. "The time has come for the FCC to recognize that broadband service is of the same importance and must carry the same obligations as so many of the other vital services do," Obama writes in a statement this morning. "To do that, I believe the FCC should reclassify consumer broadband service under Title II of the Telecommunications Act — while at the same time forbearing from rate regulation and other provisions less relevant to broadband services."

You libs can say "calm down, it's just an attempt to regulate broadband!"

Oh that's the Trojan Horse that Democrats will use to justify it. But it won't stop there! DOES IT EVER STOP WITH LIBERALS ONCE THEY TASTE A NEW POWER?

I told you this was coming. Democrats on the FCC made rumblings about this before the election. Well, Democrats LOST badly and they intend to do something about it.

We can't have that darn internet where too much freedom of speech is happening.

NOOOOOOOOO, we have got to 'regulate it."

Oh they will start out with the usual, like taxes and rules.

But then they will demand that we no longer can have nick names on the internet. NO, we MUST have our real names to be on the internet.

That way they KNOW who you are, when you say something Democrats don't like, WHERE THEY CAN FIND YOU!

Expect the audits and other privacy invasions if we say things Der Fuhrer Obama and Der Fuhrer Democrats don't like.

I told you, they would make their move in a thread about a month ago. HERE IT COMES!

Obama's problem is he never knows when to shut his hateful and ugly mouth

He can go to hell he isn't running the show anymore

Don't be so damn sure!

It all depends on whether Republicans have enough spine to stop him!

The only way that's going to happen is if WE make enough stink about it in emails and phone calls.

Otherwise it will happen without much comment.

The liberal press will damn well keep quiet about it.

The FCC should never ever be able to touch anything involving the internet. All we need is for them to get their censoring paws on it and pffft! away it goes.

Well that is the Democrat's intentions, you can be sure.

They want their monopoly back. The monopoly they had when there was no Rush Limbaugh, no Fox News, no internet and they controlled what came on the news on only three Networks.

They will do their all to try to make that happen.

The only thing that stops them is US.

Don't depend on that Republican victory to stop them.

Republicans will sit on their hands if we let them.

We are going to have to raise HELL with them to make them stop this.

They only really do the right thing when we make them worry about their cushy jobs.

 

[Kevin_Kennedy]

Right, give the government more power to regulate the internet. Sounds real "neutral."

Right, give the government more power to regulate the internet. Sounds real "neutral."

The Democrats like Clinton and Obama spent their entire regimes stuffing the government with like minded leftist radicals like themselves.

That was one of Bush's biggest mistakes. Not taking the time to clean out that nest of snakes.

They would LOVE to stop any and all freedom they can.

All it takes is for us to go back to sleep after the election sure that the Republicans will take care of it.

They won't. We have to make them!

 

[teapartysamurai]

You know how you know when liberals know I'm telling the truth, but are too partisan to admit it?

They won't say a damn thing!

 

[Freemason9]

Are you saying that the Internet should not be regulated? Are you saying that Internet freedom is "safer" in corporate hands?

At some point you might want to try reading your own article before you post thinking it says the opposite of what it actually does ---

>> Regulating internet service under Title II would mean reclassifying it as a utility, like water. This means that internet providers would just be pumping internet back and forth through pipes and not actually making any decisions about where the internet goes. For the most part, that's controversial idea in the eyes of service providers alone. It means that they're losing some control over what they sell, and that they can't favor certain services to benefit their own business. Instead, providers would be stuck allowing consumers to use the internet as they want to, using whatever services they like without any penalty. If that sounds pretty great, it's because that's basically how the internet has worked up until now.

... Obama highlights four major points: internet providers wouldn't be allowed to block websites offering legal content, they wouldn't be allowed to intentionally slow down or speed up certain websites or services based on their own preferences, and they wouldn't be able to offer paid fast lanes. <<

Imagine say, a broadcast station tightly controlled by corporate commercial interests that strictly controlled the stream of what information and entertainment you get according to what benefits them.

Oh wait -- that's what we already have.

So you want the internet to be like that? Because that's what this approach would try to prevent.

The Republicans would love to have power over the internet as well. Complete separation of net and state is the only way.

 

[Katzndogz]

obola may want to take over the internet it's just not likely that he will be able to do it. obola is not exactly the most popular man in the US today and internet regulations will piss off some serious money.

Take the tech donations out of the democrat wallets and it just might go the way of the Whigs.

The big government types like Mitch McConnel and John McCain? YOU BET!

We are going to have to really Squawk to make ourselves heard and they hear it loud and clear.

Otherwise, you BET they will go along with it.

They always were RINOS at best.

Don't be so sure that those "techs" can't be lied to and promised some crap to go along with it.

After all insurance companies were promised a pack of lies to go along with Obamacare, even though the real game is to put insurance companies out of business.

But the insurance companies believed the lies and I bet the techs would too.

Promise them easy money or power and they can be just as easily convinced.

"to protect net neutrality".

I'll bet every one of you either is in favor of net neutrality, or doesn't know what it means.

Typical RWs - see Obama and ignore content.

READ the link. Then google for more info.

Idiots.

Corporations don't care if you are Republican or Democrat. They don't care about your politics.

YOU BET I DON'T CARE!

What is it with you liberals that you think the government is so pure as the wind driven snow?

Doublethink thread.

"to protect net neutrality".

I'll bet every one of you either is in favor of net neutrality, or doesn't know what it means.

My bet is they don't know.

That's the only possible reason they would be against it. That and the fact that Obama is in favor of it.
