Confusing Shit - Someone explain the REAL meaning of new FCC ruling

"Regulation" is code for putting the FCC in charge, and their first regulation includes a number of protections for telecoms, allowing them to screw you. You may ask how they can do this without congressional consent and so forth. The answer, unfortunately, is too simple and devastating to believe: you were never free.

But from what I can see, the only thing they're regulating is the isp;s ability to regulate...in other words, keeping the internet available without allowing isps to discriminate.

essence: your screwed..there will be no unchecked chatter between the masses...

approved information only ...that would be harmless info

not get back in fkn line

The only thing the new FCC regulations did was prevent ISP's from censoring content.

ISP's are still able to create tiered systems, causing sites that are considered "less important," such as alternative entertainment sites, to be slower than sites that are "more important," like commerce sites. They just can't block legal content. Guess who decides what is illegal content on the internet? The FCC.

Essentially, the government is claiming ownership of the Internet. The way the FCC "controls" every radio station, they also can claim they control every server - that they have jurisdiction on the "open" internet.
