Thank fucking Christ, shit was getting sucky with tube vids being pulled and stuff. Fair play to your senate. Good thread op [/quote] I don't know why you believe that giving MORE control of the internet to large corporations like Comcast, Facebook, and Google will help the situation. [/quote] Because they are not in control now? It’s important that the speed in which they want the internet censored completely is slowed. Anything that allows people to still air their rights to freedom of speech needs celebrating. [/quote] Censorship has nothing to do with it. Ending net neutrality means TURNING OVER the internet to Comcast, Facebook and Google and giving them carte blanche to control what you can see and at what speed. Don't you get it?? :iamwith: [/quote] I thought google and ms did kind of own the internet already? I thought that it stopped a monopoly taking complete control of it on its own. Competition is healthy and thus allowing the internet to continue in a similar role as now as opposed to complete censorship due to it being more or less state run. I don’t think I do get it?

Original Message
The Senate today voted 52-47 to disapprove the FCC’s recent order replacing 2015’s net neutrality rules, a pleasant surprise for internet advocates and consumers throughout the country. Although the disapproval will almost certainly not lead to the new rules being undone, it is a powerful statement of solidarity with a constituency activated against this deeply unpopular order.
