Net Neutrality

Of course.

House Republicans offer Democrats bipartisan net neutrality bills that do not reclass the internet as a title II service and were criticised by net neutrality advocates during debates earlier this month.

They'd better not take it. Even if it's not a trick, a solid line needs to be drawn here. No fucking half-measures.

I'm a bit late with the news, but a "blockbuster" investigation by Gizmondo has potentially found the entities behind the net neutrality comment fraud: CQ Roll Call and the Center for Individual Freedom.

"Individual Freedom"

of course

for Republicans, the word "freedom" means "freedom from consequences"

Specifically, "my freedom from consequences. Not yours. Mine."

They want to Free us from Freedom.

Theyll keep their freedom though. How else will they make America Great Again?

Democrats in both the House and the Senate have introduced bills to bring back net neutrality.

Let's hope it gets somewhere.

Slight tangent, but I'm not sure where else this should go, and it does have to do with the FCC.

So does anyone else notice that they've been getting more robocalls lately? Well, it's not your imagination:

Article 13 is soon gonna be voted in the EU parlament, i urge all European tropers to contact your representative to stop it from going through

Wasn't it already voted down, or is this a new one?

as this site explains, it was renumbered to Article 17

so how's those EU laws going?

so, yeah, about Article 13...

Fuck

We are fucked. They're coming after the Memes now.

the funny thing is that copyright holders/enforcers never seems to understand why it is healthy for things to be shared, discussed, reviewed and talked about and how it causes fandoms to grow

And as I noted on the European Politics thread, nobody listens to the "this is actually impossible" part of the response.

This doesn't sound good for the EU, how will it affect other countries?

Directives get ignored and/or challenged all the time. Except in Britain.

And, we're busy being our own brand of stupid.

Quit panicking.

All the doof is likely to get practiced out over time.

Isn't congress voting on whether or not to reinstate net neutrality today?

I'm worried about what's going to happen to Deviantart and fanart with Article 13...

How many deviantart members are in the EU?

Short version, the good guys won this round.
