House Passes Amendment To Block Funds For Net Neutrality

Posted by Soulskill on from the one-way-or-another dept.

Charliemopps sends this quote from the National Journal: "The House passed an amendment Thursday that would bar the Federal Communications Commission from using any funding to implement the network-neutrality order it approved in December. The amendment, approved on a 244-181 vote, was offered by Energy and Commerce Communications and Technology Subcommittee Chairman Greg Walden, R-Ore., to legislation that would fund government agencies for the rest of fiscal year 2011. Walden and other critics of the FCC's net-neutrality order argue it will stifle innovation and investment in broadband. "

    The "current idea" as you so ignorantly call it is that the FCC demands regulatory power over the whole fucking internet. nchallenged, they came up with this bullshit "net neutrality" policy that did not.. you know.. enforce any sort of actual neutrality.

    You have been informed of the fact that the FCC is fucking evil in the past (in every single FCC-related net neutrality slashdot article, you have been informed)

    ..yet STILL you fucking want the FCC to regulate the internet. Its a sign of mental illness on your part. You've been fucked more than once by the FCC, recently in fact, and you are more than willing to be fucked again.. you seem to even demand it.

    The FCC is in fucking bed with the providers. FUCKING WAKE UP, MORONS.
