In this case Obama lied on his original 2008 campaign saying he would never appoint ex lobbyists. So there is nothing we can do except give awareness to people both in real life and on the Internet. If anyone in Twitter or FB says they can't believe people are anti NN or that anti NN people are stupid, just simply tell them "I support NN but the FCC who is headed by a Comcast lobbyist should not be regulating the Internet, Google Tom Wheeler" Or Simply say, "im gay"

No downfall at all, the problem is that the people who write the laws are exactly the people who benefit from it not being illegal. Accelerationism is the only way forward.

Once the internet becomes a public utility I hope that they not only step up surveillance of suspected terrorists but that we can also pay more every month to keep great sites up which require a lot of bandwidth.

The FCC has been failing to work non-profit and slipping towards corporate money just as every other govt agency has I think the head of the FCC at any given time in the last 20+ years has been tied to one of the major telecomm companies

I'm pretty much expecting that this is going to go into place, and then a lot of senators are going to get mad when their netflix / porn sites are slow to load and get the decision reversed.

Give the FCC control now and in a few years you will get fined for swearing on a podcast. Not labeling your podcast as Mature and you say something mature will get you fined. gently caress that. Just because Ted Fuckboy said something stupid does not mean Obama and the FCC are right. They are both wrong.
