He removed the consumer protection. I now know with full confidence he will lie to my face just like certain other politicians. All of his words are now and in the future are automatically hollow.
- spoiledtechie 8y agoCite your claim. He strengthened it. Obama admin didn't actually implement any consumer protection.
- kevin_b_er 8y agoTitle II was a consumer protection. It is removed. We have less. The only thing now is a lack of competition unless you count a convenient redefinition of competition to include wireless. To quote another FCC commissioner: > Internet service providers now have the power to block websites, throttle services, and censor online content. They will have the right to discriminate and favor the Internet traffic of those companies with whom they have pay-for-play arrangements and the right to consign all others to a slow and bumpy road. Plain and simple, thanks to the FCC's rollback of net neutrality, Internet providers have the legal green light, the technical ability, and business incentive to discriminate and manipulate what we see, read, and learn online. What do we have left? Well truth in advertising. But that just requires lies by omission and half truths to bypass. "Speeds up to 1 Gbit" is truthful. 0.01 mbit is within the advertised "truth", except when browisng websites that not paid Comcast's now legal extortion fee. Then they'll get less. We have a protection that was removed! Full stop. The existing protection of truth in advertising did not change. So we went down.
