    Why 0bama needs net neutrality

    It's the neutered part of neutrality, specifically...


    It's to stop web content such as these examples;

    An individual empowering individuals by being an individual in a coming age that no longer values such mentality on a massive scale....aka The Redsilverj

    This is why net neutrality was passed, so web content can be quickly and easily censored and suppressed in the name of national security and hate crimes, or as sublime as "tos" violations.

    Oh but the regime will be able to post its pablum no worries, due to a hoard of online trolls/sock puppets.
    "And how we burned in the camps later thinking, what would things have been like, if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain, whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?"

    I think you're kind of confusing government censorship with private "community standards" that various private companies employ on their own hosted content.

    The government, for example, can't ban registered sex offenders from exercising their First Amendment rights and socializing on the internet. However, Facebook, a private enterprise, can and does ban registered sex offenders from participating on their service as a matter of policy and for the purported safety of its other users. All you have to do is report a suspected sex offender to Facebook, they will investigate, and if they find a matching name/photo on the sex offender registry anywhere, that user is permanently banned from their service with no avenue for appeals.

    That has nothing to do with net neutrality. That is simply one of the rights we allow private content providers to exercise to "police their own" networks and moderate them as they see fit. Unlike free speech in the public domain, speech and posting privileges on the private domain belongs to the content providers and can be regulated as such.
    "That tyranny has all the vices both of democracy and oligarchy is evident. As of oligarchy so of tyranny, the end is wealth; (for by wealth only can the tyrant maintain either his guard or his luxury). Both mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms." -- Aristotle, Book V, 350 B.C.E

    Speaking of the socialist Satan......
    "What sick, barbaric bastards.

    It's one thing to use terrorism to make a political statement, but the wanton mutilation and suffering of innocents? How does that forward your political goals? When done in the name of religion, how does that earn you brownie points with God?

    Fuck religious extremism. And especially fuck the "religion of peace." "

    So, lagcsocialist supports terrorism AS LONG AS ITS FOR POLITICAL ENDS....
