[quote:Terrebonne:MV8zODMyOTg4XzY4OTM4ODg1XzkyQTIyNDcx] [quote:Anonymous Coward 73577072:MV8zODMyOTg4XzY4OTM4NDA4XzJERDAyQkEw] 'Net Neutrality' Does not allow the the government the power to regulate the content on the internet. It just limits your ISP's ability to do so! And you pay your ISP for a speed and a dataplan..... Net Neutrality actually is a regulation of the ability of ISP's to limit your access to content within the 'Service contract' you have with them. It stipulates that the ISP is required to provide the terms of their contract to all content providers online equally. 'Net Neutrality' Does not add government oversight over the internet. It's a means to not allow ISPs to discriminate the content you have access to within your service contract with them. It stipulates that your ISP cannot choose to limit your access to a service (or forum) because they do not like the content on it, or it takes more bandwidth then others. [/quote] Well written post. I disagree with most of it, Net Neutrality will bring in more government controls. Here's an article from last May 2017 that might help. [b]Net Neutrality Is about Government Control of the Internet[/b] https://fee.org/articles/net-neutrality-is-about-government-control-of-the-internet/ . [/quote]
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.
