Republicans Back Down, FCC To Enforce Net Neutrality Rules

An anonymous reader writes: Republican resistance has ended for the FCC's plans to regulate the internet as a public utility. FCC commissioners are working out the final details, and they're expected to approve the plan themselves on Thursday. "The F.C.C. plan would let the agency regulate Internet access as if it is a public good.... In addition, it would ban the intentional slowing of the Internet for companies that refuse to pay broadband providers. The plan would also give the F.C.C. the power to step in if unforeseen impediments are thrown up by the handful of giant companies that run many of the country's broadband and wireless networks." Dave Steer of the Mozilla Foundation said, "We've been outspent, outlobbied. We were going up against the second-biggest corporate lobby in D.C., and it looks like we've won."

Kill yourself.

A simple google search would have pulled up the information and yet you call me a liar? I take that back... Fuck yourself with a chainsaw sideways instead.

I can't stand willfully ignorant arrogant fuckwits like you that make zero effort to inform yourselves yet presume to pass judgement on anyone.

Who the fuck do you think you are? You're human fucking garbage. Why? Because you presume to judge without making any effort to understand or inform yourself.

In the future, speak when spoken to. People like you have nothing of value to contribute because you're so fucking ignorant that you don't even know how ignorant you are in the first place.

Don't even respond. Just leave.

Do you seriously have your head so far up your own ass that you're expecting me bother providing YOU with a page number and a literal citation when you're clearly too lazy to do so much as a single google search?

And on the basis of this extreme laziness on your part, you presume to claim superiority?

You're like a legless man claiming to be the world's fastest athlete because no one has yet beaten you in a race.

Tell you what, clown... do a search on the issue, read an article, and then come back with an opinion as to why I'm wrong.

If you again come back here suggesting that I am under any obligation to provide you with a page number, I'm going to laugh in your stupid face.
