FCC To Propose Net Neutrality Rules
wiredog writes "From The Washington Post comes news that the FCC is preparing to propose net neutrality rules on Monday. Quoting: '[FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski] will discuss the rules Monday during a keynote speech at The Brookings Institute. He isn't expected to drill into many details, but the proposal will specifically be for an additional guideline on how operators like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast can control what goes on their networks. That additional guideline would prevent the operators from discriminating, or act as gatekeepers, of Web content and services. ... The agency is expected to review what traffic management is reasonable and what practices are discriminatory. The guidelines are known as "principals" at the agency, which some public interest groups have sought to codify so that they would clearly be enforceable.'"
Too true. In fact, shit like that is why i post nigger jokes. So why does San Francisco have so many faggots while Harlem has so many niggers? San Francisco got first choice.
...(even though no one is trying to bring it back) ...
Not at the moment maybe, but they did recently. It's still fresh in some people's minds.
... was never about silencing opposition. It was about providing a balance of viewpoints ...
I call FUD. Anything which relies on perpetuating the false dichotomy of conservative v. liberal to determine what may or must be said is a form of censorship (call it a DoS censorship, if you like).
Fox may be the poster child of not-fair-or-balanced (and deserve it), but other news agencies tend far worse. At least Fox leans to the center periodically. Most news stations are so liberal that they think the Democrat party is the center on the political spectrum. ("political spectrum" is also an inaccurate model, but better than the either/or model.)
I won't join Slashcott. OTOH, If Beta goes live, I just won't be back until it's fixed. Sorry Dice.
that inexplicably has more power than many congress people and no accountability at all.
Thank you for pointing out your disdain for the 1st amendment.
I hope you get modded up for the simple fact I wish your post be illuminated for all to see.
Life is not for the lazy.
