Doc Brown Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Woot. Just retweeted her comments in full. So brilliant and well done. She took him to school. Quote Link to comment
Ridley Prime Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Nice. Should be pointed out that Ajit Pai was appointed by Trump, the latter of whom expressed being against net neutrality sometime during the election... No coincidence there. Donald made him chairman of the FCC to help take some of the heat off of himself. Whatever happens to the internet though, I'll be damned if we let him get reelected in three years.

solitonmedic Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 If social media eventually gets locked away by paywalls, does that mean the return of message boards again? That's what people used before Facebook and Twitter nowadays, right? Quote Link to comment

We can also thank Obama that he got to the FCC too... " On 2011, Pai was then nominated for a Republican Party position on the Federal Communications Commission by President Barack Obama at the recommendation of Minority leader Mitch McConnell. He was confirmed unanimously by the United States Senate on May 7, 2012, and was sworn in on May 14, 2012, for a term that concluded on June 30, 2016.[1] Then Pai was designated chairman of the FCC by President Donald Trump in January 2017 for a five-year term.[16] He was confirmed by the U.S. Senate for the additional five-year term on October 2, 2017.[6] " Not hating on Obama but that's kind of weak to mention that now...

Doc Brown Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Yea which isn't good. But Turtle was the one who recommended him. Pai is nasty. And the Senate, MItch and President Obama helped to get him in. Then Trump just got him to the head of the FCC. Quote Link to comment

He stayed so long because of the president. It hurts me to say that because I loved Obama but damn I can't stay away from the facts when it's like this.

Exactly. To be a fly on the wall. We do have the 2015 net neutrality rules (here's a link to them), but how much Pai took part, who knows. He seems to kind of be the type to also hide in the background, in plain sight, and a lot of times, those kinds of people are bad news.

Doc Brown Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) Kirby, that's fake. https://www.theonion.com/fcc-chair-unveils-premium-comment-line-to-fast-track-ne-1820986235 It's from the Onion, which is a satire site. I wouldn't put it past him to try to pull something like this though. Edited December 9, 2017 by Doc Brown Quote Link to comment
Ridley Prime Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Oh, it was a parody? Thank God, my blood was literally boiling. I've kinda become more confident over time that this repealing shit won't pass anyway, but will have to see next Thursday. If it does though, I'll be searching and asking anyplace where I can find a more honest cable/internet provider in light of the events. Quote Link to comment

Same here, but we have to keep the pressure on. I wish, I'd love to do the same. Quote Link to comment
