Bunny Rant 10: The Death of Net Neutrality
On Jan 14th 2014 America repealed the Net Neutrality Act, which governed how we are charged for the internet.
Now, with the act gone ISPs can charge us BASED on the sites we visit.
Go to a site alot? They can now charge you a service fee for using Netflix or Youtube or hell even FA.

actually read up on this. this is actually the result of a court ruling from a court case that the FCC lost, and it feel like they did it on purpose, not to give the net control away to the companies mind you, but to actually use their own failure, to create an even strong grip on the internet, which effectively diverts near total control back to the FCC by rewriting the original statement of what they were going to do the regulate the net.
because several lawyers commented saying their defense was weak as hell and that they could do that, and that it may have been their intention all along. it still kills net neutrally, just in a different way

Demand Progress also has a petition for bringing back net neutrality: http://act.demandprogress.org/sign/.....et_neutrality/
I'm really starting to get to the point where I'm thinking no government is good government. I'm honestly thinking of just trying to vote out every single incumbent in the next election, party and position be damned because they're all just the same anymore. Just to be a warning to the rest of them. Sort of, "We're sick of your shit. Fix it, or we get rid of the rest of you next time."
Sad thing is it would take like 10 min for the FCC to fix this. All they need to do is draft and sign an opinion from the majority of commissioners that state ISPs are common carriers and critical access infrastructure. The only reason they lost is because they have no authority to regulate access unless they are declared that. The court's opinion even essentially said the rules are necessary, should be mandatory, and for the good of all americans. The FCC just justified it illegally under authorities they never had.
Yes I do.

In so many ways, you guys (especially you Marbles) have described what government regulation is doing to the internet these days, and it enrages me, as does us all who support a free and prosperous internet. I just hope that whatever comes next, doesn't spark something our government might regret.
It's kind of ironic. the country that thinks itself the most free is slowly but surely becoming not so.
Also, this kinda of reminds me of the Nintendo cracking down on let's plays of all Nintendo property and those youtubers can't profit form it anymore.

so it really is just people wanting power and the FCC making a gamble on this to gain more.
