the FCC received 4 million comments from Americans on the issue of net neutrality

tech savvy young folks overwhelmingly like what the FCC did.

There already were laws and regulations in place.

Okay let's use YOUR analogy. Because Obama's for it, I'll give the internet over to ISP's and allow them to determine who gets good bandwidth and who doesn't, and allow them to decide what can and cannot be on the internet.

Oh I don't expect to win anything, I do this for fun. I just love to see these guy's heads explode when someone actually thinks for themselves.

Statements like that are the tip off that you don't even understand the issue.

If Obama's for it, it must be bad and you're against it. That's the height of ignorance.

Either it's unbridled hate just because Obama said he was for it. Or you clearly just don't understand the issue. I say it's both.

but when you make such a statement you clearly, fundamentally don't understand what was at stake.

But do yourself a favor, don't take the word of some conservative talking head. THINK FOR YOURSELF.

Just more evidence you just can't be bothered with thinking for yourself.

You know Sam, I never took you for the kind of guy who would abdicate his right to think for himself.

I don't know what the 300 pages were, but

Hmmm.... A Gibson thread.

Haven't read a word but lemme guess? Obama's balls are being licked, and we're all stupid?

We're just talking past each other. Have a nice day and weekend.

Laughin' my ass off...

You too sir, hope it's not ballz-azz cold this weekend where you are. We have a system moving in tonight, kills my dirt bike riding for tomorrow.

The internet is the one of the last bastions of freedom in the world.

There are already are restrictions in place.

Just curious, how many campfire members bothered to send the FCC a note during the comment period on net neutrality?

So because Obama lied before, you refuse to even look into this issue. If Obama's for it, it must be bad and you're against it. That's the height of ignorance.

What Gibson is REALLY saying is that WE, on our own, are not smart enough to see how stupid HE is.

Somebody else must have tipped us off.

I did. I said I was against it.

[quote]Proposed 2014 US FCC policy

On 19 February 2014 the FCC announced plans to formulate new rules to enforce net neutrality while complying with the court rulings.[55] On 23 April 2014, in a press statement, the Federal Communications Commission announced their new proposed rules which would allow Broadband Internet service providers, such as Comcast and Verizon, the "right to build special lanes" with faster connection speeds for companies, such as Netflix, Disney or Google, willing to pay a higher price. Their customers would have preferential access.[3][4][56][57] On 15 May the FCC launched a public comment period on how FCC rulemaking could best protect and promote an open Internet,[58] garnering over one million responses—the most the FCC had ever received for rulemaking.[59]

The new proposed rules have received heavy criticisms, with many claiming they are ruining the internet. Opponents of the rules declared September 10, 2014 to be the "Internet Slowdown". On it, participating websites were purposely slowed down to show what they feel would happen if the new rules took effect. Websites that participated in the Internet Slowdown include: Netflix, Reddit, Tumblr, Twitter, Vimeo and Kickstarter.[60][61][62][63][64][65][66]

On 26 February 2015, the FCC ruled in favor of net neutrality by reclassifying broadband access as a telecommunications service and thus applying Title II (common carrier) of the Communications Act of 1934 to internet service providers.[11][67][68][69]
