--- Quote from: hillkill on December 13, 2017, 11:44:22 PM ---ok is this like a bill or something? is it going through the house right now? i'm reading very different things from everywhere --- End quote --- the FCC is going to vote on whether or not to repeal tomorrow sometime. Currently the votes are 3-2 in favor of repealing. The 3 that are voting for repealing are either extraordinarily corrupt or extraordinarily stupid, as they have been constantly putting out page after page of mental gymnastics on how it would supposedly be a good thing. They refuse to even acknowledge that there are downsides. They've even gone as far as cherrypicking irrelevant quotes from random court cases in order to make it seem like their argument has court precedent when in reality it doesn't: --- Quote from: Ipquarx on November 27, 2017, 04:04:43 PM ---6: is actually really loving hilarious. I have no loving clue how this got into an official FCC report because: It's a completely irrelevant piece of text cherrypicked from a Utility Air Regaulatory Group v. EPA court ruling. It has nothing to do with the FCC, the internet, or anything else. (Ctrl+F "statutory power") --- End quote --- There is a bill making the rounds that would prevent the FCC from revoking Net Neutrality, but it hasn't passed yet. Also, the moment they make their decision there will likely be lawsuits and whatnot to try to reverse it. No idea how quickly, if at all their horrible decision will be reversed. |

ah, i was hoping it was going through congress. even if the house passed it, we would still have a chance that the senate wouldn't. |
