you're talking about the FCC and net-neutrality.. I am against anyone interfering with the internet and if it takes the FCC to ensure that no one fucks with it? Then I can go along with that... as long as the FCC doesn't fuck with it either.
the issue was some ISP's wanted to limit their users bandwidths and start changing like cell phone plans used to be or block sites they didn't like and generally fuck with the net.. the FCC said no, but in order to ensure that wouldn't happen they needed to take some control.. that I was for because that was the only way to keep the larger ISP from taking control and really screwing things up..
that is not the same as being ' in favor of the Gov't messing with the internet in the past' in fact, it's completely in line with my view of keeping the net the way it is.. and if business won't do that, if they infact want to disrupt that for their own bottom lines while hurting millions, then I'm good with the Gov't stepping up and ensuring no one will fuck with it.. someone had to or big business would have bastardized another industry..
you were against it because you'd rather see it in the hands business, all the while tooting your invisible "I'm for free-speech more than you are" horn... but you still think business' are people and can't become corrupted, so... I didn't pay that bullshit quip of yours anymore mind than I do when you try to pretend you're for CU because of free speech.. those are just your trolling buzz words, nothing more.. because we both know you're about as libertarian as Barry Sanders is..
Well, there is a lot to dislike on net neutrality. First of all, it was a power grab by the FCC that didn't have the statutory ability to regulate the internet in the first place. The Courts rejected their attempt as you may recall. But, as I've learned recently from you, if the Republicans are being dicks (or in this case if the courts are) then it's OK to violate the constitution and applicable laws. So at the time we originally argued about net neutrality, I would have thought the illegality of it should have been enough to get you to oppose it. Little did I know...
