The Federal Communication Commission's proposal for new net neutrality rules will allow internet service providers to charge companies for preferential treatment, effectively undermining the concept of net neutrality, according to The Wall Street Journal. The rules will reportedly allow providers to charge for preferential treatment so long as they offer that treatment to all interested parties on "commercially reasonable" terms, with the FCC deciding whether the terms are reasonable on a case-by-case basis. Providers will not be able to block individual websites, however.

. . .

 

The actual draft of the proposed rules have not yet been released, but the FCC did release a framework of the rules back in February. If the Journal is correct, this would be a large departure from the original Open Internet rules as well as what was shown earlier this year. The commission will begin to internally circulate the rules tomorrow ahead of a vote on May 15th, after which the rules would be opened up for public comment if they pass. The new regulations are aimed at replacing the neutrality-enforcing Open Internet rules that were struck down in court earlier this year.

 

FCC, this is not what we asked for. We want actual net neutrality - that is - fair and equal treatment of all websites, regardless of the ISP. This is not that. You're basically giving the ISPs what they want. You're going to let them show special treatment to website 'X' over website 'Y', and that is not fair in the slightest. So you know what this means? ISPs will be throttling you to no end now, not like they didn't already. FCC, just give us good ole regular net neutrality with no strings attached. That's it. That's all we want!

It's pretty obvious why.

Because true can equal false!

 

Really, if (0 == 1) then they need to learn more math.

from my understanding 

net neutrality was thrown out a few months ago

its already dead

 

the FCC is trying to fix some other stuff

 

 

On January 14, 2014, the DC Circuit Court determined in the case of Verizon v. Federal Communications Commission^[38] that the FCC has no authority to enforce Network Neutrality rules,

Can you blame him though? I'm surprised I see a lot more people bitching about their bitching than people actually getting outrage at the level of bullshit they see happen while they do fucking nothing "NSA spying on all of us...yeah thats....sorta bad. Whatever, let's get back to more stupid games about goats on Twitch!"
