Republicans Create Rider To Stop Net Neutrality

[shintao]

All of Net Neutrality. Julius Genachowski needs to have his balls cut off by Congress.

Really? Are you not for the free market enterprise in America for the internet or not?

Bush had an attack on the country dealt to him very early on. The country was as united as it could be at that time.

Then he proceeded to fuck it up.

How can one ISP censor when there are several others which will give you content?

Isn't that your whine about the media? That somehow it is dominated by the Liberals? You have FOXViews to give you content, so what is your beef with the way things are?

 

[Synthaholic]

Why do you think you are entitled to gifts?

What is the gift, and why do you consider it a gift?

That's not specific.

FAIL.

 

[Revere]

Government does not give you everything you want at a price you are willing to pay.

FAIL.

Specifically, the whole thing. The FCC has no jurisdiction over the internet.

What if one of the providers limits access to all your wingnut media and the other one limits access to your porn? What would you do then?

 

[Synthaholic]

It's a business decision to carry it. No more, no less.

So if Comcast's new business decision upon acquiring NBC is to try to crush NBC's rivals, you are fine with that? If they maybe move FOXNEWS into the higher priced TV packages?

It's a business decision. A bad one, and one they would likely not make.

That's not what I asked you.

I asked if you would be fine with Comcast censoring FOXNEWS.

How about it?

 

[Revere]

Who cares? It's not government's place to tell Comcast what to carry.

Revere believes private property means you can do whatever you want with it.

He is exactly the reason why we need some oversight.

He doesn't know what he believes. He just spouts.

Nope.

Banks were pushed over a cliff when they were forced to make bad loans by government.

Subprime loans.

Subprime internet access.

Wow, what a line of unvarnished BS that is.

Do you ever get tired of creating spin?

Nope. Only two providers where you live.

You gonna move and get a new job and pull the kids out of school so that you can have your wingnut media and your porn?

Or has a corporation just restricted your freedom?

Yes, breaking other laws notwithstanding.

It's not private unless that is the case.

What if, through anticompetitive methods, no one wants to sell it to you?
