This man gets it. There was a proposal that did just that in 2014. It was shot down by Dems because their goal was Title 2.

It is doable. Both sides can be happy. Don't know why people don't realize this.

Nobody would pay $300 for internet access when it's free all over the place and I can access it on my phone through 4G.



??? Free as in, the complementary wifi you access at Starbucks? Do you think that's free?

Yes, I agree. It would be called "paying only for the sites you want to access"

You act like republicans don't get funding from some ISPs, those same ISPs that don't want a free and open internet.

Hell the chair of the FCC was a lawyer for Verizon.

You realize that Google can remove something for Google search results, but you can still access it directly, right?

Or use a minimal amount of effort to use one of countless other search engines. If an ISP simply blocks a website, it is orders of magnitude harder to get around

Now let's get a fix that doesn't require title 2 classification.


I could do it in one page.

1. All data shall be treated the same.

2. No user data shall be collected by any site nor ISP without expressed, actively-given permission by the user.

--2a. Said permission shall not be used in any sort of consideration for service nor service level.

--2b. Any data given shall not be given nor sold to any other entity without further expressed, actively-given permission by the user.


That's it. File that then call it a day.

I'm not acting like anything. There was a republican proposal that would have accomplished what all of you are wanting out of NN regulation, without title 2 classification. All the ISP's were in favor of it (minus I believe comcast but it wasn't for the main regulations. Can't remember their exact rebuttle). Hell, The ISPs were in favor of it in 2010 when the FCC tried it originally. My only point is that multiple times the ISPs have been fine with the regulation you are saying is their main objection. My point is that it is not. Their objection, and everyone's objection should be Title 2.

Yep. It was attempted in 2014. Congress gave the FCC the authority to regulate and enforce those basic laws. The supreme court would then be able to vote that the FCC did have legal authority (their dissent in the FCC's 2010 attempt).

Everyone wins.
