FCC plan would give Internet providers power to choose the sites customers see
Tweet in article:<p>>On December 14, the FCC will vote on Chairman Pai's plan to repeal President Obama's heavy-handed Internet regulations and restore Internet freedom.<p>I love how these laws are veiled with patriotic sentiments, e.g. "Internet Freedom". Just like the "Patriot Act", it is reasonable to assume anything with these sort of labels will likely be an encroachment on your freedoms.<p>Also<p>>"The job of the FCC is to represent the consumer," he said in an interview. "If you like your cable company, you'll love what this does for the Internet, because it gives Internet service providers the same kind of control over content and price as cable operators have today."<p>I am confident there is not a single person who "likes their cable company". Who in their right mind would want their internet controlled like their cable is controlled? This image[0] is exactly what we get to look forward to.<p>I have called my reps, sent emails, faxes, and just feel so helpless about all of this.<p>[0]: <a href="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/4252153/what-is-net-neutrality-isp-package-diagram.0.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/4252153/wh...</a><p>edit: It appears the article altered the above quote, and the second half is no longer the same.
