Trump's head of the FCC is on track to reverse the 2015 bill on net neutrality.

Courtesy of Reuters:  

The head of the Federal Communications Commission is set to unveil plans next week for a final vote to reverse a landmark 2015 net neutrality order barring the blocking or slowing of web content, two people briefed on the plans said.


In May, the FCC voted 2-1 to advance Republican FCC Chairman Ajit Pai’s plan to withdraw the former Obama administration’s order reclassifying internet service providers as if they were utilities. Pai now plans to hold a final vote on the proposal at the FCC’s Dec. 14 meeting, the people said, and roll out details of the plans next week. 

Pai asked in May for public comment on whether the FCC has authority or should keep any regulations limiting internet providers’ ability to block, throttle or offer “fast lanes” to some websites, known as “paid prioritization.” Several industry officials told Reuters they expect Pai to drop those specific legal requirements but retain some transparency requirements under the order.

The progressives worked hard to get these protections in place, and it will require even more of an effort to protect them. 

Remember every single thing that the Obama Administration accomplished Donald Trump is determined to destroy.

    Trump may be failing at legislation, but what he is succeeding at the actual departments is alarming.

    Trump is doing a fine job of turning the USA into a third world country.

    OT? “hoax” " Recall that Putin with a straight face denied in March 2014 that Ru$$ia had forces in CRIMEa, then part of independent Ukraine — even though we could see on TV that this was FAL$E. He then said Ru$$ia would not annex CRIMEa, which it proceeded to do almost immediately. He admitted a month later that, well, Ru$$ian forces actually had been there."

  4. Their goal is to control it all.

    To own all of the media, then to control the internet.

    Then how will we get information or organize? By writing a letter?

    OT? " I wanted people to know who I was.”"
    "it’s time to stop emphasizing body counts. It adds nothing significant to the coverage—and it may actually exacerbate the problem. "Mass shooting body counts are not a competition."
    I say this as a journalist who built the first open-source database of mass shootings and who has studied and reported in-depth on this phenomenon for the past five years."
