BREAKING: FCC Approves Net Neutrality…
Wonderful.
Via
Politico:
The Federal Communications Commission voted along party lines Thursday to approve sweeping changes to how it regulates the Internet, capping more than a year of noisy debate that sparked millions of public comments and drew the attention of President Barack Obama and congressional leaders.
The agency’s three Democrats voted to approve Chairman Tom Wheeler’s net neutrality order, which would treat broadband like a utility to ensure all Web traffic is treated equally. The commission’s two GOP members, Republican lawmakers and the nation’s telecom giants oppose the rules, saying they will dampen innovation and investment. AT&T has already threatened a legal challenge.
“The Internet is the most powerful and pervasive platform on the planet. It’s simply too important to be left without rules and without a referee on the field,” Wheeler said at Thursday’s FCC’s meeting. “Today is a red-letter day for Internet freedom, for consumers who want to use the Internet on their terms, for innovators who want to reach consumers without the control of gatekeepers.”
In a separate decision Thursday, the FCC’s Democratic majority voted to override state laws that prevent community-run broadband networks in Chattanooga, Tennessee and Wilson, North Carolina from expanding their geographic reach. The move will help such locally managed networks compete with incumbent cable and telecom companies.
Net Neutrality is censorship
February 25, 2015 - People don't know the danger that is coming, said Judge Napolitano.
If the government regulates the Internet it will regulate the content.
The Internet is the freest transfer of information that the world has ever known, and is unregulated.
Judge Andrew Napolitano warns the Obama efforts to regulate (censor) the Internet constitute a major infringement upon freedom of speech. The FCC plan net neutrality. The net is currently free from government regulation. He said Congress has passed no statute authorizing new government controls on the Internet, and the First Amendment clearly states that neither Congress nor any government agency can make a law restricting the freedom of speech.

Obama's call for net neutrality spells trouble for Time Warner Cable-Comcast deal
The fight for an open Internet just got a lot stronger, as Obama waded into the fray and issued a call for utility-style regulation to limit the power of phone and cable companies. Strong opposition coming from those industries and Republicans in Congress. But Obama's move also reduces the odds that regulators will approve Comcast's (CMCSA) $45 billion take over bid for Time Warner Cable (TWC).
The Federal Communications Commission, headed by Obama appointee Thomas Wheeler, has been working on new “net neutrality” regulations after courts struck down previous efforts intended to prevent Internet service providers from discriminating against web sites and other online content. Without such protection, regulators fear companies that dominate delivering Internet connections to consumers will be able to thwart new services and stymie innovation. The FCC, which has received almost 4 million comments on its open Internet proceeding, isn't expected to take action until next year.

GA State Rep Tweets She Wants To “Slap” Conservative Black Actress Stacey Dash “Until [She] Stops Talking”
Stacey Dash, above, is a black conservative female actress. So you know what a brave person she must be, because that’s like waving a red flag at a bull for leftists. She frequently says very sensible things. This of course annoys those who think she should be on the Democratic plantation.
Georgia State Representative Dar’shun Kendrick tweeted this:

Notice how she, like most on the left, claim to be the tolerant ones, yet always want to shut down any thought or opinion other than their own
