Government regulation is not freedom. Regulation by definition is force (which is the opposite of freedom). Hopefully, not to many people will be fooled by your word games.
This is moronic. ISPs don't sensor stuff, the government does. Haven't you ever heard of TV or the FCC? You want the internet to become a bunch of bland, regulated propaganda where someone can't even say so much as the word "fuck" or show a "boob"?
YOU ALREADY HAVE TV. If that's the kind of bullshit you like, then just watch TV. For once, we finally have freedom of information, and you want the government's fascist little hands all over it.
@D4Shawn ,depending who's in control right? net neutrality will stop the abuses of the ISP and it will be really free of their interference and manipulations beware of the Repugnants Republicans, they have ruined this nation.
if this goes trough, then America will officially be a FASCIST state, controlling all media, thus mindcontrolling the people into what it wishes to believe.
The net is like the only free speech media left for you guys, take that away + the patriot act and you literally got nothing more to say, the people are worthless sheep then.
Im glad to live in Belgium, they always say america is the best, a free country, but the older I get the more it looks like a rotten sick place.
Do you think this kind of stuff will/are only happen(ing) to the US ? Europe will be just as bad, just take a look at your own goverment, or mine (the Dutch). They are basicly political slaves to the US. This will happen here too, because money rules the world.
This will happen eventually leading up to the estimated date 2012 of doomsday. Odd things are happening nowadays government related, to cover up the Planet X passing Earth. Money will be worthless. the sad thing is, it will happen before 2012.
My cable company insight communications was bought by comcast now They boot off the net when I use bittorrent. This is just one of the different kinda of slippery slopes the big communications Compinies are going down.
As far as the internet operates today in our present time I feel strongly in preserving this open system! This is our last chance as a "free" people to educate and provide unbiased information to evrybody else who is in search of TRUTH and unfabricated information! I am 100% for keeping the internet neutral! I will do my part as a conscious "free" individual to maintain my independent right of freedom and or stand and fight with others of the same conscience!
Ron Paul stated he voted against net neutrality due to the fact that it placed limitations on the internet.
I think that since he has read and studied it and came to his conclusion that we the people should take a closer look at it before we support a bill that may actually limit our use of the internet.
I have looked at net neutrality and stand firmly against it. It is a deceptive document that actually limits freedom. To be totally neutral the government would stay out of it. That is the true
definition of neutrality.
Also I have studied Ron P. extensively and he is the best candidate "In my view" than any other.

Coming soon: BRANDED INTERNET. For example, though "AT&T" or "Comcast" may have a network in your neighborhood, soon you will enjoy choice of branded internet from a different company through their network...just like IPTV. The biggest obstacle is getting our local networks built BIG enough to deal with the bandwidth. It needs to happen FAST. Big questions...How to get it done?...Who PAYS to build it? If Gov't gets involved...FEES FOR ALL on internet bill...constant bickering...slow build.
It is interesting, but I think if it comes down to nudity on the web, that local decency laws will probably prevail over a bunch of sexually oriented bullies trying to demand that the community likes them. Like Burlesque, it is going the way of the dodo. I give it more freedom than that in my approach...
hahahahah greenfury, funnier than a comic strip. You are forgetting about article 1 section 8, the general welfare bit....and you say the isps have spent millions? fine...the tax payers have spent billions. We win.
ISPs have spent millions creating what is now the internet, and one way they want to make it better would be to give certain priorities to some websites, to offer better service. however this might slow down other sites. there is no Constitutional right to the internet, a service provided by companies that own the services they provide. Net Neutrality is what will kill internet freedom, not private companies.
actually your isp can NOT deny access to a site. this is a mass misinformation campaign by people that either love big government or are too stupid to realize that this is nothing more than censorship. the one time it has ever happen, the ISP got spanked hard by the FCC. Hate to break it to you, but internet access and sites are products and services, you do not have a constitutional right to them if you can't afford them.
I am from the so called "Hippie generation" and what I see now makes me wonder why we even tried. The scummy politicians will always be doing the will of big business, but now as opposed to then I don't see any organized opposition to it. At least we went out in the streets and let these people know what we thought about it. The younger croud needs to stand up and be counted on this before it is too late.

As usual, the scaremongering "net neutrality" morons continue to make ridiculous videos that have nothing to do with reality. There is currently no such thing as "net neutrality," and yet the internet is perfectly safe and free as-is. Hmmm.
That's only because there had been no threat of it before. But as more ISPs are developing their own services (search engines, video services, etc.), the financial benefit of allowing their users to access competing services drops more and more.
And really, let's look at it from the flip side. If the telecom companies were so intent on keeping the net neutral, why would they be fighting so hard against net neutrality? Interesting...
Yet other corporations--apparently the good ones to you NN morons--are fighting "so hard" for it, that they've enlisted several obviously biased congressmen and senators to to it. Interesting, indeed.
I think you should stick to polio vaccines. The only corporation I know of that's fighting for Net Neutrality is Google, the same company that refused to hand over search engine data to the government (which you seem to despise with all your "don't regulate" talk). I'm not saying Google can do no wrong, but they have a motto to try not to.
Oh, okay, so long as they have a motto, then that makes whatever they do okay?
You are obviously totally ignorant about this issue, as your personal attack against me suggests. Disney, TimeWarner, and numerous others, in addition to Google, actively support network neutrality. Apparently, we're supposed to believe that one set of "evil" corporations is against it, yet another group of corporations are "good" for being for it. Give me a break.
What personal attack? That polio vaccine was some good work there, seriously. Nice job, kudos, props. ;)
You're not supposed to think that anybody is "evil," or support net neutrality just because "the corporations are evil." AT&T, Bell South, etc. are just doing what's in their best interests, and that happens to conflict with the public interest. And it's not like Google can do no wrong, but their actions suggest that they *try* not to.
If everyone refused to use the internet the ISPs wouldn't make any money. Maybe congress isn't who we should be writing to; maybe we should be contacting our ISPs to tell them If you do this, we will just refuse to use the internet. We lived without it before, and we can do it again. No users = no profits, they need us more than we need them. You can survive without internet; the ISP can't survive without income from its users.
Its just another way of the big companies trying to get more money and we the users will be the ones paying for it. Somebody gotta pay the fees and they will be passed on to us, thats great.
I would wonder how it would be to surf YouTube if that bill passes by. The problem would be that the back phones that run thru the streets are mostly public porperty paid by us, the tax payers.
It's like watching a tv show u don't like, don't like it? turn the channel.. piece of cake. and switching providers will be a piece of cake too! =) If this happens, will be so funny to see all the big internet providers lose thousands of customers, and they WILL lose them =)
Have you ever tried to switch DSL providers? You have to shut down your existing service, wait between 2 weeks and 30 days while the telecom bureaucracy gets their act together, and then you can get a new one. Not a piece of cake…and in the meantime, you have no internet!
And the point is…the telecom industry wants to legislate the remote control right out of your hand..so you don’t have the freedom to pick which internet ‘channels’ are available – they want to decide for you.
This is stupid. You can't be serious. It is like saying:
Leave me alone government I am trying to pirate music off the internet while my porn loads.
Your a minor though.
So. Internet privacy? I can do anything thing I want like buy a weapon without it being registered or something. Maybe I'll pirate more music while I'm at it.
Yes but what about when all the ISPs controle what you can access. Its not like TV because no matter what channel you switch to they still feed you what they want to feed you. You cant seriously be against net neutrality.
They are not going to hide anything. They won't really control everything. They would make it so you use a different search engine or something. They aren't going to be some sort of conspiracy on cencorship. I'm unable to vote. I can't say no or yes to it to make a difference, but I think it is unfair to internet businesses. That's it. No conspiracy theory or anything.
"They would make it so you use a different search engine or something." I think its unfair to me that they get to say what search engine I can or cannot use. Who said anything about a conspiracy theroy. The major ISPs want to controle the content, we say no. Are you saying they should be allowed to controle the content! If so then you sir are a noob.
I told you I think it is unfair. I keep hearing they conntrol what you see like it's government censorship. Not saying you are implying it, but Derek Wallace sure did.
They will control everything I download. Where will they go from there. I already know they will get bribes or whatever to promote websites over others. I think that is unfair. They could stop minors from accessing porn or could stop pirated music. What are you thinking besides that.
it is a good thing to stop minors accessing porn, and it might stop terrorist sites and paedophile sites. It already feels like Yahoo and Goggle own the internet already!!!.The internet does need filtering systems- but i do NOT agree this is right the way its being done-the fact somebody is getting rich is NOT FAIR.
There's a lot of propaganda on both sides. I would suggest that those who wish to make up their own minds read the very even-handed article at Wikipedia:
The Wikipedia article is well-written. And I conclude so far that AT&T shouldn't be allowed to get fat off the commons. It's just another corporate move to make huge profits and accentuate the two-tier society by charging fees for preferred speeds. It will also stifle discussion and dissent. Why should we allow a giveaway to the megacorps? Here's a better video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5RQrxkGgCM&eurl=
I view it pretty much as you do. However, both sides oversimplify the debate so they can reduce their arguments to catchy slogans. On one side, "The Internet mustn't be a private corporate resource!" The other "Don't allow govt regulation to ruin the Internet!"
The video you linked does do a pretty good job of covering the issue in 6:30.
It's going to more curropt than that. It will be like New York City were you have to pay to park but in the internet. No one wants to be charged for the air ones breathing.
IT'd be nice if they included <a href="http://www.savetheinternet.com/">the coalition trying to preserve internet freedom</a>, which is as vital as press freedom.
Oh boo hoo, maybe that means there will be less jobless, retarded, free loading liberals on the internet... AWESOME!

I view it pretty much as you do. However, both sides oversimplify the debate so they can reduce their arguments to catchy slogans. On one side, "The Internet mustn't be a private corporate resource!" The other "Don't allow govt regulation to ruin the Internet!"
The video you linked does do a pretty good job of covering the issue in 6:30.

It's going to more curropt than that. It will be like New York City were you have to pay to park but in the internet. No one wants to be charged for the air ones breathing.
I just finished going the process. Hope it helps.

IT'd be nice if they included <a href="http://www.savetheinternet.com/">the coalition trying to preserve internet freedom</a>, which is as vital as press freedom.
