THE SCUM TAKES THE MONEY


Our pal Faux Smoke sent over this unpleasant piece of news with the comment “this old bastard is still out there, lobbying against anything so long as he's getting paid.” And let’s not forget that while the senile old fool was running for president, he courted dunce-cred by positively boasting how he had no idea how even to send an email.

“U.S. Senator John McCain has introduced legislation that would block the U.S. Federal Communications Commission from creating new net neutrality rules, on the same day that the FCC took the first step toward doing so.
McCain on Thursday introduced the Internet Freedom Act, which would keep the FCC from enacting rules prohibiting broadband providers from selectively blocking or slowing Internet content and applications. Net neutrality rules would create "onerous federal regulation," McCain said in a written statement.
The FCC on Thursday voted to begin a rulemaking process to formalize net neutrality rules. The rules, as proposed, would allow Web users to run the legal applications and access the legal Web sites of their choice. Providers could use "reasonable" network management to reduce congestion and maintain quality of service, but the rules would require them to be transparent with consumers about their efforts.
The new rules would formalize a set of net neutrality principles in place at the FCC since 2005."

be glad that someone, anyone is standing up against nn--if you really don't know what it is, inform yourself unless you want the internet to be a more regulated place.

Yeah, troll, lets hand the internet over to corporate exploitation free and for nothing. Just like everything else in the godforsaken nation.
