The purpose of regulations in a democracy is not to maximize profit for companies but to safeguard the democratic system whilst ensuring a level playing-field for all companies within a certain niche.

i will drop my internet provider sooo fast if this really hits home and that's a promise! Gonna put some boxes on standby to pack all computer related items I have and stock up on stamps. This is bullshyt!

It's very easy to keep the internet neutral without passing laws: boycott any company that restricts your internet. Eventually, they will get it. It's called the free market.
Ha....if they even try,I'm sure all the internet fan-boys would go postal.
Big companies have no right to block any information,they did not make the internet,they are just the middle man who controls the tunnel,if you block the tunnel and a train comes in,you've just gotta wonder how strong you built that wall.
The thing that baffles me the most, is that I watched your video ala Extelligence, and it's very well observed. It makes it all the more strange that you fail to deduce my stance, and retort as if I'm in opposition to yours. What I've said makes perfect sense. The big corps act as if they're oppressed because they can't rewrite the rules of the road to suit themselves.
Look mate I did not judge you stance!! I pick up on your example!!! which was not clear in it's meaning!! Then offer you the chance to discuss it further, (in a reasonable manner) but it was you who chose to first insult me and then suggest that it was I who gave you thumbs down! I made a comment on your profile based on what was written here not on you content! Now please!!! be real here and stop getting all touchy!!
People keep seeing that it's against the free speech of the ISPs to prevent them from deciding who and how they provide access. Bullshit. That's like saying I'm oppressed because I'm not allowed to drive 160 up the freeway. If I want to drive, those are the rules. Noones forcing you do be an ISP, but if you want to be, that's the rule. It's not oppressing them. It's preventing them from oppressing.
No, you're missing the big picture. You aren't even understanding the point I'm making. The rules to prevent you from driving 160 are there, to protect people from your behaviour. Ergo, it's not oppression at all. Just like the Internet. These companies are acting like they're oppressed because they can't deconstruct the way it was founded.
No I am not missing your point, the point you are making is of no sense in this this discussion here! Now please take the time to watch my video. 'Endangered Extelligence, To Internet' /watch?v=OvZgRBYAWf0 In order to understand why I am saying this!
You just explained to me, that driving at 160 is a bad thing. That infers that you drew from my post that I advocate 160. That means that everything else you say is skewed, because it is you, in fact, who missed the point. Good day.
You're all thumbing down my remarks without even cottoning onto the context. You're all fucking stupid. Go be stupid, together.
If it's licensed, it isn't a right. Please, pardon my grammatical error. Switching back and forth from German and English all the time tends to do such things. Verpiss dich.
Also on the licensed comment. You say if it it's licensed, it's a privilage, well you didn't always need a license to drive and not only that, in relation. You need a license to legally be married. So your going to say that marriage isn't a right? To understand the difference from rights and privelages you need to look at the origin of the subject and not the nature of it.
no its not a privelage. if you by the car its ur right. we pay for the roads u dusch. go live somewhere else not america if you want to be controlled all the time...go to england
The internet is a privelage and if you can't tell then you aren't to smart. To really tell wether the internet is or is not a privelage you do not look at the fact that you pay for it, you look at the origin of the internet and it's history. Do you even know who created the internet or why it was created? More than likely if you had integrity you probably would answer no. The internet is a privelage wether you believe so or not.
If this is allowed to happen the only space that regular people have away from their financially driven bombardment, will convert into just a cyber-plutocracy, to compliment the plutocracy they see when they look away from their screen. MADDOX once pointed out that he gets waaaaaaay more hits than the website of Bill Oreilly. Would that happen being manipulated by money, not fair access? It's going to become a lame herding free-for-all, where only quality MONEY talks. Meritocracy > Plutocracy.
And actually it would be like your cable or dish packages...you would pick a package and your could include a couple sites like, ABC, Walmart, Cnn, and Subway or something like that. So you would be paying only to go to a couple sites. No searching google for small businesses. None of that.
First off, you have no idea what would happen. Your simply basing your claims on paranoia and fear and the belief that big companies are "evil." They are not evil, there job is to please customers and if customers want access to small websites, they will provide that. Or else they would lose business.
ya.. they'll provide the smaller sites.. at a price. this is wrong, why do they have to change it so I have to pay extra to view my favorite sites. I'm already paying 50 bucks a month for internet. All this is, is a money grab. Big ISP companies want to control and censor what I can access, and at the same time charge me for it. Fuck the Corporations. Support New Neutrality.
ISP companies have never blocked a website before. There have been a few isolated cases, but in one case where Lycos blocked a website, they ended up losing a lot of business and almost went bankrupt. And when we get fiber optics, we'll have more choices than ever with a faster internet. Just 5 or 7 years ago, our internet was super slow, it was because of ISP companies that we enjoy the fast internet we have today. Net Neutrality will stop all this and simply give more control to the government
Net Neutrality will give more control to the government? What a crock. It prevent control. The very spirit of it is a rejection of control. And your antequated example of ONE company dabbling in blocking a while back, is very different from a colluded restructuring to exert control for (shock horror) more profit.
Hzqi, you are ignorant and dont understand how the Free market or the internet works. ISP's should control the internet, if they dont control the internet, who will? The government? Tell me, how are public schools or public highways working out? If isps are forced to have everyone use their net without charging higher fees for some, the net will become crowded and the whole net will implode. Blocked websites wont even be a problem, cuz it'll be so slow that no pages will even load!!
I like the way you didn't answer my question, little propaganda machine. You call me ignorant and then assert that I don't understand the free market or the internet? Your fucking ignorant, because you assume that, of everyone who doesn't agree with your rabid desire to hand the private sector carte-blanche to manipulate information as far as they want.
You're talking about the internet "imploding" and you call me paranoid? Oh, that's right. The ISPs are all about net welfare, not money.
I am telling the truth, you are the one's been fed propaganda by google. Google doesnt want to pay more money for faster internet, it wants it for free. IF you want better service with more options, your gonna have to pay more, but Net Neutrality stops this by saying you dont pay and use it for free. THis is wrong cuz more ppl are using the net more than ever and downloading movies and stuff and only the ISPs can best manage the net, not the government. and I dont work for any isps you bastard
This guy speaks the truth. The bell companies didn't create the internet. It was created and THEY BENIFIT. I'm supposed to feel sorry for these corporate mobs for having made millions of dollars off something they didn't invent? Sure, they sped it up, AND THEY CHARGED US for superior speed. Now they're just angling to make more by squashing the "FAIR spirit of the internet". It won't speed up the net. It will speed it up for the rich, and crush the poor. No more media oligarchies.
And websites HAVE been manipulated out of access before. If you think this isn't a pandoras box that will explode like Hellraiser, you're the naive one.
They don't want government to control the internet...just make a law to keep big corporations from chopping the internet up. And actually they would dismantle this internet we are on now and implement the new limited internet that only goes to 4 websites! That's like shutting down all the freeways we use and making people pay a toll to use route 66 and some other back roads. And then destroy all the highways.
Chopping up the internet is a good thing. Putting everyone on 1 tube will slow things down. The big companies arent just going to make 4 websites, that ludacrious. Apparantly you dont understand the concept of competition. Lets say wal-mart made a deal with general mills to only sell general mills cereal. Well,if you wanted other smaller brands of cereal,you could simply go to another store. ANd walmart would lose business. Wal-mart has a incentive to provide more products, the same with the net
Net Neutrality is fraud. Imagine for a moment that you just finished building a highway and then a Big truck comes barreling down and takes up all the lanes. Since its your road, shouldnt you have the right to tell that truck not to use your road or at least charge it a higher fee since it uses more of the road? The situation is the same with the internet. Internet companies need the ability to discriminate against some users who download gigabytes of porn and use up too much bandwidth.
lol, omgz, Adobo777. Have fun voting for NoBama, you stupid monkey. Since your dumb, let me explain it this way. If net Neutrality passes, it will become like our highways. People spend 10xmore time in traffic then they did 40 years ago. This is because the government regulates it When our highways were first built, they were free and clear, but overtime,more people used them. And they got crowded. If net neutrality passes, the same will happen on the net. Keep the Internet free!!!!
"figures all your goot at is repeating yourself, you stupid monkey."
"Have fun voting for NoBama, you stupid monkey."
good job!
btw your language is murky are you FOR the charges and control by the bell companies? I thought you were but you said keep the internet free....another charge on a bill is pretty opposite of free...
The bell companies are the ones who want to build the fiber optics netowrk, why shouldnt they get to control it? Thats how you keep the net free of regulation and government intervention. All net neutrality does is keep down innovation and make everyone use 1 highway, witho no discrimination. Which means heavy traffic. Look at our highways today, there is no discrimination and they are crowded as hell. If they were privately owned, they would better maintained and less traffic
Brilliant. I can think of no better way to sell the idea of government control of the internet than to sell the idea as "net neutrality." implying freedom to a diluted and ignorant society.
Viva Fascism. Support net neutrality. Free speech sucks and must be controlled, in a fascist society.
after watching this video i went to savetheinternet dott com and made a call to my representative to oppose this. the lie of this world is that "one person could never possibly make a difference" that's not true! you can! congresspeople do tend to care what their constituents say! dont lose hope. try to make a difference. make that phone call.
This is my major concern lately: Net Neutrality, Obama's Partial Birth Abortion Agenda, Obama's 28% Capital Gains tax, Obama's reinvoking inheritance tax and Iran. LOL
Very nice,America.They will own the internet as they own radio and TV and newspapers.They will own the forests and the trees and the air.And they will own the water(as one third world country found that out the hard way).But they will never admit they own you because you are the ones who may still win it all back.So they prefer to keep you satiated by a constant barage of propaganda,consumption,and threats.
Goddam. I miss George Carlin. It's like what he said. "I love America, and a lot of the rights we used to have.". As far as the media monopoly goes. Well, we have President Bill Clinton to blame for that when he signed that insidious 1996 Telecom Act.
The greatest enemy hides where you never care to look. Worse, it pretends to be your friend and claims to look out for you. And it uses most of the tricks that have been used before. It controls you by keeping you involved in the little games, while it plays the little games.(CONTD...)
While it plays the little games to win the real game. And they have deceived you. They tell you the average man has no time to be involved in running the country. But many vote. You vote for people--on both sides--who make many promises, but never can deliver. You ought to be voting frequently--every month--on issues, but you vote for people--that is the trick! This way you can keep on bitching, but are never going to get what you want.(CONTD...)
And you are kept exhausted. You release your pent-up frustration on bitching instead of changing the system. Had there been a system of voting for issues and not for people, you could have been free. But you are only puppets who reiterate the cycle of your bitching and despair.
If you hate a system how are you going to change it? The only way they have given you is to vote for any candidate you like. Once that candidate has won the powerful will tell him to do what they want him to do. And you think he won't follow them? Why would he care to follow you when they--not you--are going to paying him millions by putting him on the boards of their companies?
Why not just cancel your subscriptions of company's who partake in these actions. Money talks! AT&T, Comcast, Time Warner & such... All out Boycott. No phone service, No internet or cable. Shut them down. Thats All you have to do ! No freedom, No money ! Simple !
Could this really be happening? If the internet disappears, a lot of people who would not normally sit in front of a computer will disappears also. So, there goes computer sales, operating system sales... a number of things. Only nerds like me used computers before the internet. All the nerdy dudes hung out on BBSes, and talked techie story. If the net disappears, so will the many people who came to the hobby of computing. Watch it! This will never last. Lots of companies will go bust.
this is bullshit!! this is our last frontier of communication and business that remains completely in the hands of the people who are able to access this resource. lancing off this vital organ will cause our very sense of freedom to shrivel and die. THEY ARE POLICING OUR THOUGHTS AND LIMITING OUR FREEDOM! WE ARE IN A MEDIA CONTROLLED COUNTRY!
I dislike all forms of Censorship including this Totallitarian Legislation to restrict Our Unlimited Internet Access that We have paid money for!. I Really Hate Net Nuetrality.
I bet if it was American idol they wanted to regulate and control who got to see it and when.Then you fat,lazy,blow hards would be outraged then.Well just keep sitting there.They're about to changed you tv from analog to digital and you know theres some sinister reason for it.Your being slow boiled and conditioned.SNAP OUT OF IT BEFORE ITS TO LATE!
I'm so enraged. They have taken our NATURAL RIGHTS! THEY KEEP DOING IT! All the while Americans sit on their chairs and let it all happen. IGNORANT ASSES! This shit is the same reason for the war in Iraq. It's all related! Don't you get it Americans? Not you humanswin but EVERYONE! I'm so angry about this!
same here m8 i'll send you the same info im sending humanswin,the time for watching youtube videos and sitting on our arses complaining is at an end time for action i feel,
Hell yeah.its like the saying if you arent outraged you arent paying attention-we look around and wonder how people have no idea-but from being on the net(FOR NOW!) we see there are other people with brains-but you dont get that vibe going to a store or something-you get it..peace2u
agreed a few of us have set a plan in action for when the net is closed down i shall send you some info about it and how we are setting up a way for us to keep in contact,the war has begun,we will not allow our freedoms to be stolen from us without a fight, may peace be spilt,namaste
Personally, I'd love to keep getting cheap and fast internet service, but I also think that if Verizon wants to change the way it does its business by regulating internet speed, then they should be free to do so. It isn't like companies like Verizon have a monopoly on the internet is it? I mean the government shouldn't tell them how to run their own company. Believe me, the second I can't access Google at a reasonable speed, I'll switch ISPs. Won't many others do the same?
Net Neutrality is complete bullshit. Its a campaign of lies from the FCC to help give up the rights of the internet to the FCC, the same bastards that ruined radio and television to suck off corporate cocks for money jizz.
The First Amendment of the Internet --- Net Neutrality, which prevents the FCC from rigging the web so it is easier to visit sites that speak against the govt and provide controversial information and opinion --- took a blow from the House of Representatives Thursday (thank god). Do not watch the Mini-Documentary "The Death Of The Internet?"
Dont visit savetheinternet as it is part of this scam
Youre a person who takes it in the ass and doesnt complain.... Yes master you are all powerful... Dont let me speak out, censor my internet.... HAHA youre worthless
let the net be free. It's the last place where people with free minds can post media that can reach everyone. Unlike TV, print & radio; where massive corporations control all.
And finally I paid the ISP for access to the internet, give me what I pay for. Or I want a reduction in my monthly fee, for the % of sites that I am not allowed to go to/restricted access. % lost = % reduction in my payment. fair is fair.
This is another example of why money should not be on the table in the legislative process. The corporate companies take full advantage of this and toss the green at the congress and senate (With their lobbyists) to influence policymaking, and it needs to stop. I for once would like to see a congressman, senator (or hell even a president) who will propose a bill to put an end to the damn money being tossed at the legislature.
Plus the government does a terrible job at just about everything, especially trying to regulate a fast evolving high tech industry. I guarantee you they would create idiotic regulations and do more harm than good.
Your guarantee is based on your idealogy, not on fact. I 'guarantee' that if net neutrality is removed, then the internet will be divided up into a few small mega-websites like television.
Ok ok, the word "guarantee" was inappropriate, "fear" would be closer to the truth. But I didn't base my argument on nothing; I work for the government, I understand bureaucracy. Plus read my first comment on regulation.
Government regulation is what caused the formation of the phone and cable monopolies in the first place...
If the the government had stayed out of telecommunications in the first place we would not have this potential problem; we would have more ISP choices and competition.
Everyone will have free and universal access to the internet, as long as the government stays out of it. If you are uncertain about this, look at what has happened in China. We can't allow government regulation of the internet a.k.a. "Net Neutrality"
GinsingSullivan, I find platitudes about the free market such as this to be just as broad based and naive as arguments for communism. Now, do you actually have a real argument to present?
Ginsing, I'm surprised. Under Net Neutrality, you are *guaranteed* the right to speak your mind. You are *guaranteed* the right to connect to whatever website you wish, at whatever speed you desire.
I'm intensely disappointed that you wish to abolish that right in the favor of a telephone company that wants to profit from a 'private Internet'.
Your limited idealogy aside, you do realize that there is a reason this bill and ending net neutrality is a pet cause of big company internet providers who want to maximize profits. Anyway, your comparison to China makes clear that you don't understand the issues involved.
Well put (sorry if I came off like the crazed liberal wacko I am). Having said that, the only drawback I have ever heard of to net neutrality is the same old, it-will-be-bad-for-business, routine. In recent years, international and domestic corporations have proven that leaving them to regulate themselves can be disastrous for the 'little guy'. I hardly see the problem in telling network providers not to selectively provide bandwidth access to websites they prefer.
I pay for the World Wide Web, not the Comcast-Approved Wide Web. Perhaps there are elements of net neutrality that go to far, but making it illegal to discriminate against any user or block any website seems pretty straight-forward. Restaurants have to keep their kitchens clean, some city residents have to clean the sidewalks in front of their homes, etc... Sometimes, laws forcing people to be good citizens are necessary.

Just to add, now your meaning is clear, and again I am sorry for the misunderstanding.
BrutusCass 3 years ago
People keep seeing that it's against the free speech of the ISPs to prevent them from deciding who and how they provide access. Bullshit. That's like saying I'm oppressed because I'm not allowed to drive 160 up the freeway. If I want to drive, those are the rules. Noones forcing you do be an ISP, but if you want to be, that's the rule. It's not oppressing them. It's preventing them from oppressing.
Hzqi 3 years ago
1st if you drive at 160 you are danger to others!
You are trully missing the big picture here!
BrutusCass 3 years ago
No, you're missing the big picture. You aren't even understanding the point I'm making. The rules to prevent you from driving 160 are there, to protect people from your behaviour. Ergo, it's not oppression at all. Just like the Internet. These companies are acting like they're oppressed because they can't deconstruct the way it was founded.
Hzqi 3 years ago
No I am not missing your point, the point you are making is of no sense in this this discussion here! Now please take the time to watch my video. 'Endangered Extelligence, To Internet' /watch?v=OvZgRBYAWf0 In order to understand why I am saying this!
BrutusCass 3 years ago
You just explained to me, that driving at 160 is a bad thing. That infers that you drew from my post that I advocate 160. That means that everything else you say is skewed, because it is you, in fact, who missed the point. Good day.
You're all thumbing down my remarks without even cottoning onto the context. You're all fucking stupid. Go be stupid, together.

Also on the licensed comment. You say if it it's licensed, it's a privilage, well you didn't always need a license to drive and not only that, in relation. You need a license to legally be married. So your going to say that marriage isn't a right? To understand the difference from rights and privelages you need to look at the origin of the subject and not the nature of it.

The internet is a privelage and if you can't tell then you aren't to smart. To really tell wether the internet is or is not a privelage you do not look at the fact that you pay for it, you look at the origin of the internet and it's history. Do you even know who created the internet or why it was created? More than likely if you had integrity you probably would answer no. The internet is a privelage wether you believe so or not.

And actually it would be like your cable or dish packages...you would pick a package and your could include a couple sites like, ABC, Walmart, Cnn, and Subway or something like that. So you would be paying only to go to a couple sites. No searching google for small businesses. None of that.

First off, you have no idea what would happen. Your simply basing your claims on paranoia and fear and the belief that big companies are "evil." They are not evil, there job is to please customers and if customers want access to small websites, they will provide that. Or else they would lose business.
Jimraynor45 3 years ago
ya.. they'll provide the smaller sites.. at a price. this is wrong, why do they have to change it so I have to pay extra to view my favorite sites. I'm already paying 50 bucks a month for internet.

Hzqi 3 years ago
ISP companies have never blocked a website before. There have been a few isolated cases, but in one case where Lycos blocked a website, they ended up losing a lot of business and almost went bankrupt. And when we get fiber optics, we'll have more choices than ever with a faster internet. Just 5 or 7 years ago, our internet was super slow, it was because of ISP companies that we enjoy the fast internet we have today. Net Neutrality will stop all this and simply give more control to the government
Jimraynor45 3 years ago
Net Neutrality will give more control to the government? What a crock. It prevent control. The very spirit of it is a rejection of control. And your antequated example of ONE company dabbling in blocking a while back, is very different from a colluded restructuring to exert control for (shock horror) more profit.
You work for a major ISP. Confess.
Hzqi 3 years ago
Hzqi, you are ignorant and dont understand how the Free market or the internet works. ISP's should control the internet, if they dont control the internet, who will? The government? Tell me, how are public schools or public highways working out? If isps are forced to have everyone use their net without charging higher fees for some, the net will become crowded and the whole net will implode. Blocked websites wont even be a problem, cuz it'll be so slow that no pages will even load!!
Jimraynor45 3 years ago
I like the way you didn't answer my question, little propaganda machine. You call me ignorant and then assert that I don't understand the free market or the internet? Your fucking ignorant, because you assume that, of everyone who doesn't agree with your rabid desire to hand the private sector carte-blanche to manipulate information as far as they want.
You're talking about the internet "imploding" and you call me paranoid? Oh, that's right. The ISPs are all about net welfare, not money.
Hzqi 3 years ago
PS. A public school is a horrible analogy for the Internet.
Hzqi 3 years ago
I am telling the truth, you are the one's been fed propaganda by google. Google doesnt want to pay more money for faster internet, it wants it for free. IF you want better service with more options, your gonna have to pay more, but Net Neutrality stops this by saying you dont pay and use it for free. THis is wrong cuz more ppl are using the net more than ever and downloading movies and stuff and only the ISPs can best manage the net, not the government. and I dont work for any isps you bastard
Jimraynor45 3 years ago
This guy speaks the truth. The bell companies didn't create the internet. It was created and THEY BENIFIT. I'm supposed to feel sorry for these corporate mobs for having made millions of dollars off something they didn't invent? Sure, they sped it up, AND THEY CHARGED US for superior speed. Now they're just angling to make more by squashing the "FAIR spirit of the internet". It won't speed up the net. It will speed it up for the rich, and crush the poor. No more media oligarchies.

Hzqi 3 years ago
They don't want government to control the internet...just make a law to keep big corporations from chopping the internet up. And actually they would dismantle this internet we are on now and implement the new limited internet that only goes to 4 websites! That's like shutting down all the freeways we use and making people pay a toll to use route 66 and some other back roads. And then destroy all the highways.
dismissed7 3 years ago
Chopping up the internet is a good thing. Putting everyone on 1 tube will slow things down. The big companies arent just going to make 4 websites, that ludacrious. Apparantly you dont understand the concept of competition. Lets say wal-mart made a deal with general mills to only sell general mills cereal. Well,if you wanted other smaller brands of cereal,you could simply go to another store. ANd walmart would lose business. Wal-mart has a incentive to provide more products, the same with the net
Jimraynor45 3 years ago
Net Neutrality is fraud. Imagine for a moment that you just finished building a highway and then a Big truck comes barreling down and takes up all the lanes. Since its your road, shouldnt you have the right to tell that truck not to use your road or at least charge it a higher fee since it uses more of the road? The situation is the same with the internet. Internet companies need the ability to discriminate against some users who download gigabytes of porn and use up too much bandwidth.

This is because the government regulates it When our highways were first built, they were free and clear, but overtime,more people used them. And they got crowded.

The bell companies are the ones who want to build the fiber optics netowrk, why shouldnt they get to control it? Thats how you keep the net free of regulation and government intervention. All net neutrality does is keep down innovation and make everyone use 1 highway, witho no discrimination. Which means heavy traffic. Look at our highways today, there is no discrimination and they are crowded as hell. If they were privately owned, they would better maintained and less traffic

Personally, I'd love to keep getting cheap and fast internet service, but I also think that if Verizon wants to change the way it does its business by regulating internet speed, then they should be free to do so. It isn't like companies like Verizon have a monopoly on the internet is it? I mean the government shouldn't tell them how to run their own company. Believe me, the second I can't access Google at a reasonable speed, I'll switch ISPs. Won't many others do the same?

Well put (sorry if I came off like the crazed liberal wacko I am). Having said that, the only drawback I have ever heard of to net neutrality is the same old, it-will-be-bad-for-business, routine. In recent years, international and domestic corporations have proven that leaving them to regulate themselves can be disastrous for the 'little guy'. I hardly see the problem in telling network providers not to selectively provide bandwidth access to websites they prefer.
eirefrance 3 years ago
I pay for the World Wide Web, not the Comcast-Approved Wide Web. Perhaps there are elements of net neutrality that go to far, but making it illegal to discriminate against any user or block any website seems pretty straight-forward. Restaurants have to keep their kitchens clean, some city residents have to clean the sidewalks in front of their homes, etc... Sometimes, laws forcing people to be good citizens are necessary.
