Still don't get it, we have no power over unelected officials. You want to do something? Let's limit the FCC's power. Call your congressman.

We wouldn't have NN if we did limit the FCC's power. Not saying we should or shouldn't, but the FCC's scope is not the issue here.

"Hello, my name is Ann On Ymous, I'd like to talk to you about opposing your repeal of net neutrality."
Boddel
Another reason why the FCC doesn't take "public comment" seriously. If you have to spam this much, then your argument boils down to emotion.
lawideas
The FCC doesn't make that rule. Congress does. This is like calling the chief of police to demand marijuana legalization.
NotMyUsualOnlineName
NN is currently protected by FCC regulation, not a law passed by Congress. Pai wants to repeal that regulation. The only thing Congress can
NotMyUsualOnlineName
do about it is pass a law protecting NN, making the FCC's regulation on it moot. Congress won't do it though, a bill with NN protection
pauljs75
My worry isn't that we'd get one if pressed for hard enough, but that we'd get the Obamacare version of it which is not what we'd want.

Yes, let's push all ignorant people to vote. Because this is totally not how we screw up our systems.
DannycakesOW
98% of everyone for NN has no idea what it even is. They all think it's an anti-money grab or censorship problem. What a laughing stock.
JacaByte
It's the principle that all internet packets must be routed equally. If you're against NN you're either a shill or willfully ignorant cuck
Teevorkio
If you only use major survives like amazon and YouTube an end to net neutrality should theoretically lower internet prices for you
JacaByte
That's absurd, Comcast and Time Warner have their own streaming services to push, don't trick yourself into believing that they won't (1/2)

try to cripple their competition because, you know, they literally own the switches Netflix/etc. use to access their customers (2/2)

While I get the sentiment, I agree with @dnsbubba. The three Republican FCC members have made it clear they're voting to gut Net 1/?

Neutrality even though both side's voters support it. FCC spokesman have even said that Pai's office is just dismissing a lot of 2/?

comments because they introduce no new facts and have no serious legal arguments. I don't think anyone asked for it like you're implying 3/3

"no new facts and have no serious legal arguments" They're right about that. The NNers are mounting a campaign based on spam and emotion.

Net Neutrality itself isn't a right but it being repealed can lead to your ISP limiting your right to free speech if you speak out (Cont)

TheMajesticHarpyEagle
The constitution was written nearly 200 years ago, and isn't going to be entirely relevant to modern situations. What a shiite argument.
Boddel
All you've done is prove you don't know or care about the law.
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
How? Because applying anything from a document written before electricity was a thing to a global interconnected digital system is fucking
Crowlands
They've straight up admitted this! They have said they will ignore any complaint that isn't an actual legal argument!
Crowlands
Which, quite frankly, is a perfect example of why you need a second amendment: Your government is against the will of the people.
Crowlands
But no: "I needs mah guns incase some fuckin' librul tries to take mah guns!" "what about if your country becomes an oligarchy?" "wut?"
Boddel
They shouldn't ignore bad args? Fact is your "strategy" amounts to spamming ("upvote this!!11!") so the FCC will be spammed by the ignorant.
AlwaysandEventuallyHannah
Exactly. That's why it's such a common and respected practice to require a doctoral thesis instead of a vote at a general election
Boddel
This isn't an election. The election was last year. You lost. Elections have consequences.
AlwaysandEventuallyHannah
Actually my election was this year and I won thanks for asking, and also you're shifting goalposts
Crowlands
You... Don't know what a democracy is, do you?
Boddel
Your inability to understand a representative democracy is not evidence that I don't understand democracy in general.
Crowlands
A representative democracy? Please, inform me, who voted for Ajit Pai? Who exactly does he represent?
YoungTimbe
So just don't so anything? Like don't vote? And let the government do whatever they want? It's up to the people to keep it in check ya know

We haven't kept gov in check for a long long time.
