Net Neutrality....

The internet is a medium which allows one to GREATLY express oneself in so many ways. To put people at a disadvantage or unable these forms of communication, our freedom of expression is being hindered, THUS, doing away with net neutrality should be considered unconstitutional. It would basically be like starting a poll tax; while some can afford to pay it to vote, many cannot, hence this freedom is being limited to only the privileged.

If America REALLY wants to call itself a country of "freedom" (which by the way, I think does not deserve that title anymore....), THIS, is one way it can earn itself that title.... one way...

And NO, Verizon, you have it all wrong; removing net neutrality would essentially put your fking respect paramount over all others who can't afford to run sites on the internet, and that right there, would be unconstitutional.

This is just one more of those examples today where big money is trying to unleash its hounds on people which are the consumers, the leashes being regulation. All regulations exist today to protect consumers from careless, profit-hungry organizations. Capitalism can be a great system when we keep the producer of products and services in check, but when we let them play by their own rules, we become hostage to them, and that's what's happening...

I can't agree more. Net Neutrality shouldn't be on the chopping block, but it only is because Ajit Pai is corporate as can be, and most, if not all, of these corporations care only about the money and not their consumers. Big cable is really bad about it considering Netflix provides a better version of the same thing for a tenth of the price. -_-

A government of the corporations, by the corporations and for the corporations.

People, you say? That's crazy talk, you don't make a government for commodities.
