Here it comes! Obama says FCC should reclassify internet as a utility

[dannyboys]

Well they got control of our health care so of course the commies want to control the Internet.

will the people rise up and stop them? to be seen

And how would this proposal do that, Steph?

Aye --- there's the rub.

The anti-Obama reflex mechanism in these people kicks in independently of that thinking mechanism on their shoulders,

assuming they have the latter.

All you stuuuupid LIB pyjama boys need to understand a very simple simple fact:
What is the most highly valued expect of life?
FREEDOM!
Freedom to jack off anytime you want. Eat whatever you want. Suck on any teat you want.......including that of the Government's.
It's ALL about freedom in the US. Yes the negroes have basically sold any modicum of freedom/honour/integrity they might have had like they did when they were selling off their slaves to the Dutch in exchange for some broken pieces of mirror and some glass beads same as now getting 'free shit' from Big Government.
They are basically a right-off.
I'm talking about the family where both people are working their asses off so they can enjoy some fucking FREEDOM at the end of the week.
Just a few fucking hours!
Read this VERY carefully: BOBO's socialist government couldn't give a shit about your hard earned freedom.
You must purchase freedom. You must earn it. It's businesses that provide you with as many hours of watching porn as you want a month while the wife and kids can watch 'Free Willy' upstairs. (Ironic).
All it costs you is the equivalent of a few hours work and the money you earn that pays for the ISP.
The businesses make money so they can pay the dude living a couple of doors down to come to work and make sure your service isn't 'throttled' too much.
You win. He wins. The ISP wins. The only people who are not happy are the fucking socialists who want to take away your freedom/s.
They want what they have and your's also.
Think about it.

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

They always make up harmless names for their oppression.

Net-neutrality. My how wonderful!!!!

Clean air. How devious!!

As if Democrats are the only ones concerned with clean air.

Just another lie by the left.

 

[ClosedCaption]

Wanting Internet to remain the way it is is "taking away your freedom" because the internet needs adjusting apparently

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."

Obama says FCC should reclassify internet as a utility The Verge

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!

What is wrong with you? Do you realize what "net neutrality" means? He is advocating that the coming internet monopolies (Comcast, Verizon, Time Warner) are not allowed to charge a site for optimum access on top of what they are already paying.

If the monopolies get their way, then the USMB here will probably have to start charging its members to use this board in order to offset costs.

Get it, yet?

This is where they will pivot and now tell you that more fees are a good thing. lol

"Net Neutrality" is just shorthand way of spelling Fascist, state run media

Again Frank -- explain. How would this in any way enable the State to run media?

Wassamatta? Breitbart got your tongue?

Clean air.

Another name for sky-rocketing energy costs intended to pillage income concentrations. Shipping billions out of this country and giving it to fat-cats in other countries.

I can change the channel. I can change internet providers. I can buy different products.

Not around here you can't.

As long as that's the case the consumer needs some kind of protection. The same reason you can't sell snake oil and claim it cures cancer. The same reason we have more phone choices than AT&T. There was a time when that wasn't the case.

But feel free to step right up and explain, where everyone else failed, how a prohibition of censorship amounts to "government intrusion".

Look at your phone bill. Add up the ABSURD government "fees"

THAT is the scam that masquerades as "protection"

Not an answer, is it?

Of course it's an answer. The government sticks their god damn greedy paws into my wallet every time I pay my cell phone bill. If that isn't government intrusion to you I can't help you

Another wag that didn't bother to read the article.

-- where in any of that is any kind of "greedy paws in your wallet"? Where do you see any "absurd government fees" out of this? Where's any reference to fees or taxes at all?

Where?

As I said --- not an answer, is it?

You are the fool here buddy. The government has NEVER gotten involved in anything that didn't cost the consumers in the end. Just because you're a sucker that falls for the pitch doesn't mean everyone else is. And we haven't even touched on the possibilities of future censorship.
I remember democrats trying to pass some kind of parity bullshit not that long ago.

Give an inch they will take a mile......scratch that, they'll steal your car & drive a dozen miles.

So you have no answer, can't show your basis and have nothing. Just say it.

Try reading the article next time before you dig yourself into a hole.

Interesting fact: Thats also your response to questions like "How are you today?" and "Nice weather we're having eh?"

 

[dannyboys]

"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.

Yeah...he just wants to protect internet neutrality.
Just like he wants you to keep your Dr. if you like him.
If you believe this shit you're a complete moron.

Another speculation fallacy, another wag tries to insist that yes the emperor is wearing clothes.
And another one bites the dust.

Read the article. If you still don't get it, read the comments on it.

It's my contention that the gov should stay the fuck away from the internet....period.

Any Socialist government has only one priority:
That would be to basically control your entire existence.
Can you say 'Obamacare'?
BOBO only has a very few kicks at the can left.
He wants to give amenity to millions of 100% sure LIB voters.
Now he wants his socialist government to tell you what you can do on the internet.
Fucking Stalin would want the same thing if he were alive today. Think about it!

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Hey I cant get onto USMessageboard anymore, what happened?
Company: That site hasnt paid to be fast so we dont offer it anymore.
How do I get it back because I like going to that site to debate.
Company: Find someone who carries it fast for free or play by our rules. You can always go to another site. How about the Huffington Post message board? Its faster because they paid to be faster

When the fuck did that ever happen to you or anyone?

You're right, lets wait until that happens THEN fight it.

I switched from Cable to FIOS, 2 months later I received a personal visit from the cable company asking if I would switch back. That's what the free market does

Thanks but that has nothing to do with the topic at hand

Thanks but that has everything to do with the topic at hand.

It's called "Free enterprise" The ISPs will kill each other on price and service to secure customers.

It's the exact opposite of putting a Fool like Obama in charge of an operation and having the services be directed from DC

For example my government run commuter train to NYC STILL does not offer WiFi service. Why? Because it's run by the government!

The carriers would PAY Metro North to offer their services, but Government run Metro North can't get out of their own way

What he's saying is Sure it doesnt say anything like what I'm telling you but trust me its going to happen

Your words, they contradict.

Let's fight and give government power over the interwebz cause corporations might do bad things.

Don't fight net neutrality because government will have more power and will keep reaching.

 

[Uncensored2008]

No it doesn't.

False, as is the case of so much you post.

I keeps the internet free from censorship by large service providers.

It has nothing to do with censorship - again you post falsehood in an attempt to pervert perception so that the party might gain control of vital resources through the state.

Net Neutrality deals with providing superior service to select customers, offering backbone priory to banks and medical services while lowering bandwidth allocations to NetFlix and YouTube.

It has nothing to do with your ability to set up a VPN to administer your SQL Server, or any computer on line for that matter.

I assume you are lying due to ignorance, though I know you well enough to know that you would lie for the left under any circumstance.

{Have U.S. Internet users’ worst fears just been realized? A new report from iScan Online programmer David Raphael claims to confirm that Verizon, which you might recall helped lead the charge against net neutrality regulations, has begun limiting the bandwidth utilized by certain websites for its FiOS Internet subscribers. In a blog post on Wednesday, Raphael shared a troubling account of issues that his company had been experiencing with service slowdowns. After digging into the problem he finally contacted Verizon customer support, which seemingly confirmed that the ISP is throttling bandwidth used by some cloud service providers including Amazon AWS, which supports huge services including Netflix and countless others. As BGR has learned, however, this is in fact not the case.}

Verizon Throttling Netflix Amazon AWS Following Net Neutrality Death BGR

The ONLY thing is has to do with is the allocation of bandwidth and priority of service.

It's not a tax! It's not a tax! It's not a tax!
