It is really, no kidding, a thing. Either you're ignorant to the possibility of there actually being people on a forum (even AT) intentionally attempting to sway public opinion, or you're being intentionally disingenuous. Given the number of times I've seen you post something to this effect (Russian trolls? That's crazy talks!), that's enough alone for me to raise an eyebrow.

No, there is a difference between saying Russian Trolls exists, and saying everyone that opposes my narrow world view fueled by propaganda is a Russian Troll.

I can't even understand what his point is. Is he suggesting that we go after Obama to try and stop this? News flash, Obama has no political power anymore.

It's just diversion, and an attempt to shift blame elsewhere.

 

[bshole]

And the infuriating part is that the FCC is likely the one that corrupted it. Poisoning the well to get their way.

What to do when the watchdogs are more corrupt than what they are supposed to be guarding....

He's basically trying to say that because Obama appointed Pai that this action by Pai is Obama's fault or something. He either didn't know that Obama was required by law to appoint a Republican to that post and therefore is stupid, or he did know and is trying to be deliberately deceptive.

You've been shitposting your way through ATP&N for a few days now, and call anyone who even mentions the possibility that someone's intentionally trying to sway public opinion crazy. Flatly, you're protesting too much.

You set it on fire.

 

[unseenmorbidity]

If you think a different Republican appointee wouldn't be doing the same thing Pai is you're delusional.

There are plenty of Republicans that support NN.

You are fucking crazy if you believe this Russiagate conspiracy bullshit without any evidence.

Yes, I'm sure the Republican controlled Senate would have totally confirmed a Republican commissioner who wanted to impose Title II regulation on the telecom industry. lol.

Seriously, you are either a liar or incredibly stupid. Stop talking about things you don't understand.

Yah, they would have.

 

[fskimospy]

Yah, they would have.

By all means explain why McConnell would have confirmed a nominee with policy views directly opposed to his after Obama threw out his recommendation.

Prediction: you will not do this.

Because they wouldn't obstruct forever. He could have used the bully pulpit and made some deals. Nearly everyone likes NN!

Whose fault was it that the Dems lost over a 1000 seats anyway!?

I mean, if we are going to rewrite history, why stop there?

 

[SMOGZINN]

So basically the infrastructure of our modern society is under attack and all we can do is sit around and say 'But they did it too!'
What fools are we.

Yea the Republicans have our back like they did for invading our privacy (supported by less than 15% of voters):

Energy & Commerce Committee chairman Greg Walden (R-Ore.) and Communications Subcommittee chair Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) praised Pai's rollback of common carrier-based 'net regs. (Blackburn helped lead the successful congressional effort to nullify the FCC's rules on broadband privacy).

Regarding the new rules, Republicans say:

“I commend the current FCC for its commitment to a free and open Internet with a lighter regulatory touch, and today’s announcement is a major step in that pursuit," said Rep. Bob Latta (R-Ohio)

Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), chairman of the powerful Senate Commerce Committee. “The last administration’s approach of regulating the internet with depression era phone rules is deeply flawed," Thune told B&C. "While I support Chairman Pai’s efforts as an improvement

“I welcome Chairman Pai’s announcement to restore the light-touch regulatory framework that has allowed the internet to thrive since its creation," said Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.),

and Democrats say:

Calling it an effort to "gut" the rules, Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) one of the Hill's biggest Title II fans, promised a "firestorm" of opposition.

“Net neutrality is essential for protecting free speech online and allowing small businesses to flourish, and that’s why the American people spoke out by the millions in defense of these important protections," said Rep. Frank Pallone (D-N.J.)

“The internet must remain an open marketplace where everyone has the opportunity to participate," said Rep. Doris Matsui (D-Calif.) "Rolling back net neutrality protections will undermine the ability of American consumers and businesses to innovate and compete on a level playing field online

Don't give me your both sides bullshit. Give me your sources or shut the fuck up and get the fuck off this thread.

Really? Did the last administration show you how willing to compromise Republicans are?

You can use the bully pulpit, and make deals as the POTUS.

Most people like NN, even in the GOP.

Yeah if there's one thing I learned from Obama's presidency it's that Republicans wouldn't obstruct forever.

lol.

This narrative that poor lil Obama was always obstructed is mostly bullshit. He did what he wanted to do.

They did.. didn't they!? And why was that again!? Ohh right, Obama's faux populism.

[brycejones]

I'm guessing someone is still unable to stay on topic with what the CURRENT administration is doing and is instead focused on the last administration and the one that never happened?

Relax while your ISP makes the internet into something like AM radio. You won't miss all that other stuff because you won't even know it's there.
