FCC Commissioner on Internet Oversight Switch: ‘If You Cherish Free Expression,’ ‘You Should Be Worried,’ This Is ‘Irreversible’

15 Comments on FCC Commissioner on Internet Oversight Switch: ‘If You Cherish Free Expression,’ ‘You Should Be Worried,’ This Is ‘Irreversible’

1. I absolutely despise that spear chuckin’ bastard!
   I’m just saying that while I still can.

2. It’s a done deal, like the Iran deal. Look, they overrode Obama’s veto on suing the Saudis (which some judge will find a way to nullify soon) so they could lie back down and let the internet go while we were celebrating the veto override.

   Now prove me wrong, Congress, like you did yesterday.

3. You are damn right we better be worried! Where in the hell are the patriots in congress……..hello……anybody home?

4. This, like the Iran deal and so many other 0bamatrocities, is illegal. The president does not have authority to take this action, nor does FCC.

   But if it is done, will the next president take action to reverse it? And how much cannot be undone?

5. I have contacted my worthless self-described conservative RepublicRAT Senator three times about this very issue! Have yet to hear back. Probably busy getting a post office named after some big donor!

6. Since this will happen Saturday, I wonder if Trump can set up a new web under USA control in January, and let the other one rot? Those entities who need international web access will need to figure out another pathway. For domestic users, why not have our own, and make it such that this can never happen again by a sitting traitor in the oval office.

7. Voir Dire
   “make it such that this can never happen again by a sitting traitor in the oval office.”

   We already have that and it did not matter. Our problem is much bigger than just this issue.

8. Things like this are never cited by the #NeverTrumpers.
   It’s like they live in a vacuum.

9. They didn’t have internet when I was a kid so I could care less. Hopefully it’s a disaster
   and young kids wake up.
   I read five sites and this is one of them. My wife gave me a 3G and showed me how to use it.

10. Nice knowing y’all…

11. b b but I was told it was just Ted Cruz grandstanding.

12. It’s a done deal; has been for months.
    Now, if the UN gets involved, we’re toast. 🙁

13. Thanks, barry.

14. Might just want to write down all the IP addresses of your favorite sites, so you can still get to them after the DNS servers are purged.

15. Burner, that won’t matter. When (not if) control is given away, the bad guys can change anyone’s IP address arbitrarily so the old one no longer works or is redirected to their propaganda. When they want to shut down opposing voices, they threaten to turn off your ISP so IT will remove you in order to keep the rest of their customers online, and of course, you’re now marked for “further consideration”.
