I think it depends on what the public does but I know there will be a bunch of lawsuits filed against the FCC from what I read so that might have a little more hope in it.

Why should they care?

Anyway, hopefully they come to their senses. This only hinders everything from creativity, collaboration, innovation, communication etc. Basically everything we rely on every minute of the day. Hopefully they see that.

Literally 99% of people were for Net Neutrality but it still ended up happening, honestly nothing we could have done about it, it was going to happen no matter what

It still has to be passed by congress.. This has happened 2 times before in a different way, and nothing happened. So thats what we are hoping for again.

I would say that a good majority of the folks against net neutrality put their thoughts in with their votes instead of RESIST petitions and text messages. 99% would be a huge overstatement.

Although I feel the net neutrality crowd has a valid arguement, I am one that is against it.

Im not for over bearing government regulation where it doesn’t belong, nor do I trust an appointed commitee to make decisions in secret to decide what those regulations are, and what can and can happen with ISPs and content sites.

Its very “anti-monoply” on the surface, but does anyone ask why coperate giants such as Facebook, Google, Apple, etc. are for something that would essentially give the government the means to control them? My guess would be is they have the means in capitol and money to corrupt affectively controlling their compeition via the government.

My distrust for the government is your distrust against corporate America. I view it in that the American people should speak with their money vs. a few selected government cronies.

I think the issue is something that both sides have merit on, I guess it just comes down to fundementals in what you believe. However I feel the discussion has extremely been disingenious and fear mongered to unreasonable level and there needs to be an honest discussion about it. However thats where our politics is at sadly, for both sides of the aisle.

My .2 cents
