Actually, both of these articles missed the even bigger problem with the logic
of these crooks at the FCC.
Here's what O'Rielly claims:
"As Professor Enrique Armijo of the Elon University School of Law has shown in
his research, municipalities such as Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Wilson, North
Carolina, have been notorious for their use of speech codes in the terms of
service of state-owned networks, prohibiting users from transmitting content
that falls into amorphous categories like 'hateful' or 'threatening.'"
Focus, FCC. Use your confused heads, for once. You sound really pathetic. You
are complaining about something the YOU insist on allowing.
Broadband, the Internet in general, is a telecom service, by every definition
of that term. As such, it is supposed to be guaranteed neutral. Meaning, you
can say whatever you want, over the wire. (Not necessarily anything you want to
the person, service, social media site, what have you, at the other end. But
what's at the other end is none of the FCC's business. The wire is your
business.)
Who are the imbeciles that allowed ISP service to be non-neutral? And now, you
complain when ISPs think they have a right to meddle with the content sent over
the wire?
You guys are a real piece of work. If the ISP blocks or degrades content
sources, out of an overabundance of greed, presumably that's okay. You guys are
just too freakin' dumb to understand that non-neutrality of a telecom can just
as easily work against you, as it can work for your personal interests. If an
ISP wants to block paranoid libertarian talk, you just finished trying to make
that okay. Genius.
