Democrats Will Introduce Bill To Bring Back Net Neutrality (thehill.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Hill: Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced Monday that Democrats will introduce a net neutrality bill to replace the open internet rules that were repealed in 2017. In a letter to her Democratic colleagues, Pelosi said a bill called the "Save the Internet Act" will be unveiled Wednesday and will be introduced in the Senate as well. The text of the legislation has not been released, and it's unclear what will be included in the bill. Democrats have railed against the Trump administration's Federal Communications Commission (FCC) vote to repeal the net neutrality rules, which happened more than a year ago. The 2015 regulations prohibited internet service providers from blocking or throttling websites or creating internet fast lanes.
Should have been law in the first place, not policy decided by 5 unelected guys in a closed room. Trump himself even said so much.
Citation required. And last I heard, Trump has over 9000 verifiable lies in a little over 800 days in office. Jesus, if Trump said something in between the ten lies he told that day, how would anyone have known whether it was another like or an accidental truth that slipped out?
Now, the problem with the Democrats doing it is the bill will probably be 5000 pages long and include all kinds of other bullshit having nothing to do with net neutrality.
You mean like the Tax Cut? The one that gave all the cuts to the top 1%? How many pages was that? And nobody got to see it even before it was brought to a vote? Yeah Pot, go ahead, call Kettles black.
Does anyone think Trump will allow this to pass?
After all, he did put Patel in to power. Would he sign a bill that disagrees with Ajit's position?
Actually, Obama put him into power May of 2012.

Would be nice if the democrats didn't act like screaming babies occasionally.
They are completely unfit for power.
