It was hosted on Wordpress.com.
Wordpress.com is Wordpress' paid hosting solution
If someone wants the Wordpress software, they can download it free at Wordpress.org and host it elsewhere.

It's wonderful isn't it?

Yup, I am familiar. Just making sure I get the details on which it was since there is a definite difference.

Only in right-wing conspiracy land. SCOTUS would never allow that if it was to even be attempted. And from what you've posted here, it's clear you don't know how the Internet works.

It's unsettling that people who don't even know how the Internet works or what net neutrality actually is are deciding national policy on it.

Just like the 20 old men meeting to figure out the details on Women's health. What else is new?

Don't worry - they have lobbyists and loud-mouthed Right Wing radio and TV hosts to educate them....all will be well.

I know who THEY are.

So you would be against the government blocking content from the Fellowship of the Minds (for example)?

Yes. ISPs shouldn't have the right to block it either. Now private enterprises like Facebook, YouTube, etc are a different story and they should be able to control what kind of content they host if they so choose.

OK - I actually agree with that.

One more thing - where did I get the internet wrong?
