I sent a little email begging the FCC not to ruin one of humanity's greatest achievements. I'm not optimistic.
I am merely commenting on the hyperbole that the U.S is all of the sudden this post apocalyptic country because our internet might cost a little more. Don't get me wrong I don't like what is going on as much as the next guy but let's not forget that we are so spoiled that the thought of the policies for our internet connection being changed causes an outrage.

Why doesn't the title of this thread mention about the procedural vote to move forward today? Not being the final vote doesn't mean it isn't important.
Old title was about the vote moving foward today.
Was changed to the now more important public comment period.
NO NO NO! No.
The reason Republicans oppose this is because they oppose any regulation of the ISPs at all here, not because they support net neutrality. They are even more opposed to net neutrality than this shit. They're just taking advantage of the confusion to try to paint themselves as "saviors of the internet" by voting against this (while supporting something even worse instead) and it's working, apparently.
Agreed. I think the problem with things like this is the fact that people don't immediately understand what it means to them so the level of care is very low. It's all still very vague for people. The message needs to be clear and concise otherwise no one will pay attention.
The proposal needs to go away. Period.
When the GOP proposes something that tries to reduce regulation of ISPs, I'll oppose that too.
You're not one of those people that thinks you have to side with a particular party on every single issue, are you?
Of course not. I don't want this to pass. I want them to reclassify the ISPs and fully reinstate net neutrality. I'm not trying to defend the people on the FCC who passed this, I'm trying to prevent undue support for people who, given their way, would pass an even worse version. And the GOP's goal is to not pass anything, which will lead to even less regulation than this shitty proposal.
It would still be a terrible thing since ISPs have shown an uncanny propensity to engage in cartel behaviour.
Giant buttplug and dragon dick are typically the only options available when dealing with energy companies and internet providers.

The FCC's decision will be based on the politics of this vote, if you think they are going to read those comments you are sorely mistaken. It is important people know that this vote passed because the people who voted on it were appointed to the FCC on the premise they were pro net-neutrality. The vote had nothing to do with public commenting as that will happen anyway.
