Who's for it in the industry? The Comcasts, Verizons. and AT& Ts of the world. The head of the FCC was former counsel for Verizon.

If you want those shite shows running the internet you'll get it.

If recent history has told us anything then this statement should be the end of the conversation.

Name one thing that liberals have wanted that was good for society.

What entity wielded such power that it enabled companies like Comcast, ATT and Verizon to have a monopolistic environment where they could possibly control so much?

And I think you're confused, those companies are against NN.

That being said, of course they would be. Ill intentions or not, if you ran a company how much gov't regulation would you want?

The only positive this board gets out of repealing NN is that for a short period of time you can say we got rid of something Obama did. Then we’re all fricked

Practically everyone would hate “cable television neutrality”, so I’m not sure why people seem so fond of net neutrality.

So companies want more autonomy and freedom with how they conduct business? Color me shocked. It just has to be they have bad intentions and want to drive away consumers from their brand!

I agree. It's a much more complicated issue than that.

Which is why I called out the OP. It's a simplistic and naive view.

Unfortunately, too many people think it's black and white.

I like the internet before NN (2015). There was a lot less censorship. Let’s MTIGA.

He's referring to liberals and you counter with the opinion of the UN? A basic human right?
