How does Anandtech feel about the FCC trying to change the rules of the Internet? (Net Neutrality)

[Puffnstuff]

Good

Conservatives should love stuff like this. They always harp about individual state rights so this is right up their alley.

Only if its aligned with their talking points.

He's officially under investigation.

That being said, I feel like the OP needs to be massively edited but I'm unsure which information is more pertinent at the moment.

 

[SMOGZINN]

Honestly, is there anyone in the Trump administration not either under investigation or already indicted? Someone needs to be keeping a scorecard of this.

There's plenty of people. If you just want to bitch and complain about the Trump administration, there's plenty of political topics out there for you to piss on. This topic pertains to net neutrality.

More than 40%.

Drain the swamp and replace it with a bigger swamp.

Lock this guy up!

Now is the time to really hammer your representatives about undoing all the damage that's been done behind closed doors.

So this happened

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy...ourage-award-and-gun-for-saving-the-internet/

Ajit Pai got an award (a gun) from the NRA for “saving the Internet”.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) today gave its Charlton Heston Courage Under Fire Award to Ajit Pai, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission.

After Schneider spoke, Meadows told Pai that "the Charlton Heston Courage Under Fire award is sponsored by the National Rifle Association" in honor of the former NRA president, and it's not given every year. It is only awarded "when someone has stood up under pressure with grace and dignity and principled discipline," she said.

Previous awardees included Rush Limbaugh, Phyllis Schlafly, Vice President Mike Pence, Roy Innis, and Sheriff David Clarke, she said.

"We are honored to have you as part of this distinguished pantheon," Meadows told Pai.

The actual award is a "Kentucky handmade long gun," Meadows said. "We cannot bring it on stage," she said, noting that it would be housed in the NRA's museum along with a plaque honoring Pai. "When you can receive it, we'll give it to you," she said.

So Pai will have to pick it up later because you can’t bring guns to CPAC.

That list of previous recipients is basically a good roundup of the biggest tools you could name off the top of your head.

Pai seems like a worthy addition to the collection.

What a dark age to be living in.

"Ajit Pai, as you probably already know, saved the Internet," American Conservative Union (ACU) Executive Director Dan Schneider told the audience.

This part really pissed me off and now I'm ashamed of the NRA... Makes me wonder how much they were paid to give him the award.

UPDATE: Senate has the votes to repeal Ajit Pai's net neutrality repeal.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...ity-bill-advances-in-the-senate-idUSKCN1IH2DS

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate voted 52 to 47 to advance a bill that would reverse the Federal Communications Commission decision in December to repeal landmark 2015 net neutrality rules.

The margin was larger than expected with three Republicans voting with 47 Democrats and two independents. Many politicians are convinced the issue will help motivate younger people to vote in the 2018 congressional elections. A final vote by the Senate was expected later on Wednesday.

The measure still faces an uphill battle. It is not clear if the U.S. House of Representatives will vote at all on the measure, while the White House has said it opposed repealing the December FCC order.

Fuck yes. Go fuck yourself Ajit. You definitely win most punchable face.

As history has proven, “having the votes” is a lot different than “casting the votes”

Unfortunately the House GOP will do nothing with it.

....and back to having the votes doesn’t matter until the vote.

Was wondering when this foot was going to drop. Did not feel kosher from the get go.
