It's been a year since the FCC officially repealed Obama's mangled form of net neutrality and frankly, for post-apocalypse, the Internet seems to work pretty well.
The Obama order cited Free Press 46 times. What a shame we stuffed these guys.
These guys.
Democrats on Energy and Commerce today voted in lockstep against an amendment from @RepBillFlores that would have prohibited Pelosi's "Save the Internet Act" from opening a backdoor to new taxes and fees on your Internet bill.
Democrats have rejected every Republican net neutrality bill. The R bills all ban the blocking and throttling Dems claim to be worried about but, unlike Pelosi's HR 1644, do not reclassify your broadband, protected by the Internet Tax Freedom Act, as a taxable telecom service.
Now the Flores Amendment vote makes crystal clear what we've always suspected: the real, principal Democratic goal of the "net neutrality" effort is to put hefty taxes and fees on your broadband bill.
