The world that was going away, and as such, we needed to enact the rules to preserve it. If one wants things to stay the way they were back then, they would want these rules to stay in place, to ensure that. Without these rules, there is ab

Yes, he did. He rigged the comment period for this, and then basically said that public sentiment, which is overwhelmingly in favor of NN, doesn't matter, because he's going to do what the ISPs tell him to do. He then goes on to i

There has been plenty of documented abuse. It's a big reason why there was a push for Title II in the first place. And, besides that, why would that matter? If there's no abuse, then the regulation should not be causing any burden

I would suggest that Project Veritas acting in this manner is very much a problem. Remember, they weren't just trying to discredit a major journalism institution here, but sexaul assault victims everywhere.

"It's not acceptable to punish today's men for what men of past got away with. " The only men who are being punished are those who actually engaged in that behavior. I dare say that it is acceptable to punish them. &quot

I don't think that position itself is incorrect. I do believe the position that this justifies repealing NN is very incorrect. Repealing NN isn't going to do a thing regarding competition. We still have both problems. But if we ke

The, "the real victims in all of this are the men!" takes on this are getting pretty old. False accusations are extremely rare. Whereas harassment and sexual assault are actual, real things that women have to deal with on a daily

It's only hard to come back at them if you're determined to stick to the idea that they're good. Anywhere else, doing things like this is considered shady as fuck.

Except bonds are regulated by the SEC, and are largely understood and able to be traded on open markets. The same cannot be said of this.

Also, Google fiber coming into existence only benefited those in the markets where Google was threatening to enter. Everywhere else, the incumbent ISPs were content to rest on their laurels.

It seems like far too many of their counter arguments seem to boil down to, "This isn't already happening here, so we don't have to worry about it." If we don't want to worry about it, and we don't want those t

He doesn't. I don't believe he's ever really had issue with programmers selling their labor. What he's objecting to is the idea of proprietary software; that is, the idea of software that the end user cannot see the sour

I feel that, if you're going to put a bunch of work into setting up donations and bugging people to get them to donate and all that, just charge for your work. There is absolutely nothing wrong with charging for your time, or with aski

I fail to see any reason why, or any reason that a municipal ISP would somehow be easier for the NSA to operate. However, they are far more responsive to customers, and provide better service than the incumbent private ISPs.

Just because you don't find value in what FB provides its users doesn't mean others don't.

That's an extremely short sighted way to look at things, which gives a complete pass to a bunch of bad actors in the system. Why is it always "personal responsibility", but never "corporate responsibility"?

Why should it be legal? Your phone service doesn't work that way. Your water or power doesn't work that way.

Is it? And are those who are consuming the electricity paying the entire cost for it, including impacts to the environment?

"Well, look at what is happening in the UK." What about it? How is it in any way, shape, or form related? "Calling people names who are making an argument is disrespectful." I'm not calling you names. I'm calli

I'm still waiting for someone to come up with a compelling reason why that should be a thing.

"Because we should trust government to provide Internet access?" Prove that is part of it, or stop lying.

Prove that your concern somehow is more real under Net Neutrality than without. Seriously. I am sick of this lie being tossed around. Did you completely forget the NSA just setting up shop inside AT&T's switch room? What about Net

Or, also within the realm of possibility, Trump flip flops on his positions to side with the Dems, just because he doesn't want to be seen as being out of power.

That's a completely different topic altogether, though. Even if there were 100 ISPs, Net Neutrality would still be an issue. When there was plenty of competition among long distance phone carriers (back when people needed to worry abou

And how many waivers were given out for that? I'm sorry, but nothing in this administration has given me any reason to believe this will actually be followed up on.

It's now. And that site is extremely misleading, because while all those companies are in the county, they don't serve the same areas. And as long as 1 person in the census block has access to the service, it's counted as ser
