The tech community rallied pretty hard in favor of net neutrality last go-round, they were just lucky that Wheeler (head of the FCC) agreed with them. I think there isn't anything specific to fight against now as there was with SOPA. O

"Their" meaning the people being targeted in this way. Sure, both sides target specific demographics or biases, but I think this personalized approach is certainly novel.

When was the last time you saw a law that was in plain English saying exactly what it did such as "No more Muslim immigrants"? The intention was clear, putting it in such obvious terms makes it obviously unconstitutional, so the l
