Single Group Dominates Second Round of Anti Net-Neutrality Comment Submissions
New submitter aquadood writes: According to the Sunlight Foundation's analysis of recent comment submissions to the FCC regarding Net Neutrality, the majority (56.5%) were submitted by a single organization called American Commitment, which has "shadowy" ties to the Koch brothers' network. The blog article goes on to break down the comments in-depth, showing a roughly 60/40 split between those against net neutrality and those for it, respectively.
Agreed! Who could be against the FCC regulating the internet? Nutters and Koch brothers types, that's who! I look forward to the FCC getting it's mitts deeply into the regulation of the interntet. I mean, how else can I be sure of getting cheap, fast pings for my games if not by getting the feds involved? My freedom to ping REQUIRES laws, bureaucrats, agents, and harsh penalties to ANYONE who fucks with my pings!
What could go wrong? I GLADLY give the FCC power to make sure the Koch's don't fuck with my pings! We all know that the FCC has done FINE work with regulating TV and radio, and I'm sure they'll be fine stewards of the internet, and would never regulate content. Radio and TV is different... everyone knows regulating content there is required. But they'll NEVER regulate content on teh internet! They're FAR too wise to do that. Ok, except maybe haters... something needs to be done about haters on the internet, and hopefully the FCC will ban them. But if you are not a hater, you have nothing to worry about, so STFU, nutters and haters, and welcome the FCC and it's agents!
And as everyone knows, once a goverment agency gets a little bit of power, they use it wisely and NEVER grasp for more. Freedom requires regulating strictly the providers of stuff with an iron fist, otherwise, they'll bone us every time, and the FCC is just the agency to do it in this case. Getting the FCC as involved as possible with the internet is a can't lose situation! The 1st Amendment is in fine hands with the FCC!
You forget that socialist countries subsidize part of the cost on the back of the tax payer. That's fine if you want the service and it is actually a good value, but if not, you pay anyway. If the service sucks? You're SOL. You still pay. Not paying your taxes lands you in jail. Unlike shitty companies, the state never has to answer to the market, so inevitably, any services it renders landslide quickly into mediocrity, bureaucracy, and expense. It's amazing how quickly people forget the horrors of the state sponsored monopolies like ma bell.
The comcast monopoly could only exist in a state controlled market. Starting up an isp is expensive enough as it is, but the regs that do exist favor those who are already established (just like other law regulating business).
... you do realize you're outing yourself as a fascist, right?
It is nazis like you that have always been the problem. Kill yourself.
No, I am not kidding. Do it now. Get up, find a clean and effective means to end yourself... and do it. The world will be a better place.
And that is how libertarians kill people. We suggest you do it to yourself and then leave the choice to you.
People like you just shoot people. You don't believe in choice. You don't believe in freedom. All you believe in is violence and hate.
Kill yourself. Not kidding. Do it now.
