Save the Internet (seriously)

Name: Anonymous 2006-06-11 0:03

Maybe I'm behind the times, because I know it's been in the news, but I never paid much attention to it until now.

Basically, the fuck wads in Congress want to give control of the internet to large corporations like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast.  This will basically destroy net neutrality.  4chan, and any other site worth looking at would probably be fucked for good.

So, guys please take a minute to stop fapping and sign the petition.  It only takes a few minutes at the most.

"Given the power that major ISPs wield, particularly since they have nigh non-existent competition in many areas, forgive me if I'm skeptical."

Do you trust the FCC over ISPs?  I sure as hell don't.  What is the current rate for saying "fuck" on T.V. or radio, 325K?  Giving the FCC the power of any amount of regulation could lead to things like that.  Remember the FCC was just created to solve conflicts between different radio stations (which was being solved by itself, so the FCC didn't even need to be created).  Now look at what it has become. 

Not to mention it is the unregulated nature that is helping the industry grow.  Areas that only had one broadband ISP now have several.  Places that had only acces to dial-up now have broadband access.  Give it some more time and let the industries compete and I'm sure you will change your opinion.
