WASHINGTON
The Federal Communications Commission voted on Thursday to dismantle rules regulating the businesses that connect consumers to the internet, granting broadband companies the power to potentially reshape Americans’ online experiences.

The agency scrapped the so-called net neutrality regulations that prohibited broadband providers from blocking websites or charging for higher-quality service or certain content. The federal government will also no longer regulate high-speed internet delivery as if it were a utility, like phone service.

The action reversed the agency’s 2015 decision, during the Obama administration, to have stronger oversight over broadband providers as Americans have migrated to the internet for most communications.
The real leftists are the silenced majority, the sleeping giant.

I am totally clueless about "net neutrality", which allows the government and corporations to easily victimize me...If there is a Bernie Revolution, he will need to put it in simple terminology for us simple people to understand............ :wah:
